Psalm 149:1-9
149:1 Keep praise new and fresh. God is alive and active in our every day and our praise should reflect that. Our faith should be as deep and inspired as God's active love for us is.
149:2-4 Remember to rejoice in our creator; our whole bodies and souls are systems of miracles propelling us through the miracle of life. Sing and dance for the God whose pleasure is in His people. He cares about us, and that is a blessing worthy of praise. We put humility into our hearts and He puts beauty into our lives.
149:5-9 Live with joy; fall asleep with joy. And gratitude. Praise in our mouths and the two-edged sword, which is the word and will of God in our hands. With each, we will navigate life joyfully and justly. God's intention is to strengthen us for the purpose of perpetuating justice around the earth.
