Psalm
135
1 Praise the Lord.[a]
Praise the name of the Lord;
praise him, you servants
of the Lord,
2 you who minister in the
house of the Lord,
in the courts of the house of our God.
3 Praise the Lord, for the
Lord is good;
sing praise to his name, for that is pleasant.
4 For the Lord has chosen
Jacob to be his own,
Israel to be his treasured possession.
5 I know that the Lord is
great,
that our Lord is greater than all gods.
6 The Lord does whatever
pleases him,
in the heavens and on the earth,
in the seas and all
their depths.
7 He makes clouds rise
from the ends of the earth;
he sends lightning with the rain
and brings out the wind
from his storehouses.
8 He struck down the
firstborn of Egypt,
the firstborn of people and animals.
9 He sent his signs and
wonders into your midst, Egypt,
against Pharaoh and all
his servants.
10 He struck down many
nations
and killed mighty kings—
11 Sihon king of the
Amorites,
Og king of Bashan,
and all the kings of
Canaan—
12 and he gave their land
as an inheritance,
an inheritance to his people Israel.
13 Your name, Lord, endures
forever,
your renown, Lord, through all generations.
14 For the Lord will
vindicate his people
and have compassion on his servants.
15 The idols of the nations
are silver and gold,
made by human hands.
16 They have mouths, but
cannot speak,
eyes, but cannot see.
17 They have ears, but
cannot hear,
nor is there breath in their mouths.
18 Those who make them will
be like them,
and so will all who trust in them.
19 All you Israelites,
praise the Lord;
house of Aaron, praise the Lord;
20 house of Levi, praise
the Lord;
you who fear him, praise the Lord.
21 Praise be to the Lord
from Zion,
to him who dwells in Jerusalem.
Praise the Lord.
I
don’t know a lot about other religions, I have no need to know because I know
God. I know enough to know that they do
not serve the One True God. They serve
man, that has long past from this earth and is now in the hands of the One True
God. The people they serve are merely
dust in the wind, a flower that has faded away.
I, on the other hand, serve The God that created this earth, that causes
the lightening, and who give us the rain.
I serve The God that made a pathway for me to come and reach Him.
I
don’t have to climb a mountain to reach Him.
I don’t have to go to the temple to worship Him. I don’t have to bow down to a statue as
though it is all powerful. He is right
here, right now, living within me. He is
not dead but is alive. People tried to
destroy Him as He walked on this earth but many saw Him after He was resurrected. They saw Him as He ascended into Heaven and
He told then that He would send a helper in the form of the Holy Spirit, which
He sent on the day of Pentecost.
Many
have rejected Him and I don’t understand why.
He is all powerful, above all other gods. No one or no thing is here without Him making
it happen. So, why do people run from
Him? I don’t know but it makes me sad
when they do.
These
verses make it very clear as to whom we should give all our praise and it does
not say man. It is our God, our creator,
our redeemer and our friend. Give all
praise and glory to The all powerful, The One True God. Seek Him and praise Him as you serve The One
True God.
Seeking
Him with all my heart,
Sheila
