THE LORD GOD DELIGHTS IS HIS PEOPLE

Proclamation:
“For The Lord takes delight in His people; He crowns the humble with victory.  Let His faithful people rejoice in this honor and sing for joy on their beds.  May the praise of God be in their mouths …”  Psalm 149:4-6 (NIV)

Explanation:
The words of this psalm are also thought to have been written by King David and it is clear they were written under the influence of The Holy Spirit of God.  This psalm is another one of the “Hallelujah” psalms.  This psalm is about the “new song” which the people of God will sing regarding Jesus, The Christ, as our redeemer. (Psalm 149:1)  The people of Zion will be glad and celebrate with singing, dancing, and making music. (Psalm 149:2-3)  This will be pleasing to The Lord God.

Application:
There will come a time when all of God’s people will celebrate with joy.  We will enjoy the victory over sin, death, and this world.  We will be singing songs of praise and jumping for joy.  We can rejoice now, in the midst of our trials and tribulations here on earth because we know that in the end we will get the victory.  The humble down here will be glorified in heaven with unspeakable joy. (1 Peter 1:8)  Praise The Lord.
