Psalm 103 is referred to as David’s “Hallelujah Chorus.”
Now if U remember, “Hallelujah” is Hebrew for “Praise God” and to praise means to glorify and give thanks. So that makes Psalm 103 David’s Thanksgiving Chorus.
Now the psalms are poems and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God as our Creator, Sustainer, and Redeemer.
And since David’s accredited for writing 73 to 75 out of the 150 Psalms that sort of means that he's the top singer and songwriter who’s singles hit number one in the charts recorded in the bible. And if you read his songs you'll notice they all have the same pattern. Because all of the verse’s are about his true life experiences, the good, the bad and the ugly.
But then his Choruses, like all choruses, are repetitious statements after every verse that always point out how God loves and provides for him in the good and in the bad times of his life.
SO what if we were to look at praise and worship the way David did?
(Who by the way God says was "A man after His own heart.")
Would we better see that in order to worship God in spirit and in truth we would need our everyday lives to be like verses of a worship song that always lead to the glorious chorus and proof of God’s constant and consistent love and provision in our lives meaning that our lives would not just be seen by the world but our lives would resonate in the world as expressions of gratitude and thanks to our God in all things at all times?
well said.
