July 22, 2022: Day 155 – Psalm 47

For today we only have Psalm 47 since we have already read together James 1-5.   Ironically, providentially, by God’s grace, I find myself today here at Universal Studios at a Starbucks enjoying some quiet time as the kids are off with the leaders doing their leader things.  But Psalm 47 is without a doubt one of the most powerful and energetic of Palms of praise.  “Shout to God with cries of joy.”  That’s what we are doing pretty much all week this week.  What a trip it has been.  Every single day the kids have shown resilience, hard work, determination, not a word of complaint or anger.  We have a group that is absolutely amazing and have done some significant work, to the point where those with whom they have worked have remarked on their cohesion and their work ethic.  

Praise be to God for them, their parents who raised them that way, and for the leaders who are instilling in them a desire to love and follow God with all of their heart, mind, soul, and strength.
