150 Days of Psalms - Psalm 108



If the subtitles don't show up, click the red CC button.

Psalm 108:3-5 is the text for this beautiful song of praise. The clip above is from a channel on YouTube called Praise Among the Nations. Here's what they say about themselves.

"Praise Among Nations (普天頌讚) [Ps 57:9]


Church TV (unofficial channel) of Cheung Lo Church, Church of Christ in China, Hong Kong. It's full of HD clips with various subtitles like Chinese, English, Spanish, etc."

There's something really awesome about hearing a familiar song sung by Christians from around the world. It shows the universal language of music for sure, but more than that, it shows the connection we have with believers around the world.
 
But more than that it shows how God's Word is alive and active and speaks to people of every nation, culture and language. v.3 I will give thanks to You, O LORD, among the peoples, And I will sing praises to You among the nations.
Psalm 108 is a call to missions. It's a call to tell of God's greatness, not just to the people you know, but to every nation, every people.
 
I'm glad to be a part of a local congregation that is involved in international missions, local missions, an ESL ministry and so many other ministries that are reaching out to people of every race and culture with the Good News of Jesus Christ.
 
How will YOU be involved in singing/telling about God's greatness in the days to come?

Wow, it's really great that you're consistently going through the Psalms every day for about 5 months! Can't wait for tomorrow's post!
