The Voice of Triumph!

Scripture:

Psalm 47:1 "Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to God with the voice of triumph!"

Observation:

The Psalmist tells us to clap our hands and to shout to God with the voice of triumph. God is not afraid of a little volume! He asks us to clap our hands and shout to Him with "the voice of triumph". There is a sound to triumph. There is a sound of victory that is very real and the author tells us to shout to God with that victory voice.

Application:

Last night I was coaching a wrestling team and periodically, when a tight match was turned around or a defeat was turned into a victory, there was a sound that went through the gymnasium. God is not nervous and He enjoys hearing the sound of victory coming from His people. He wants us to verbalize our excitement about what He has done for us. We must give Him a shout of praise and victory. He loves seeing His children win.

Prayer:

Father, let Your people walk in victory and let the sound of their praise be like the sound of a gymnasium when a victory takes place. You have defeated the devil, death, hell and the grave! Help me to act like it and let my voice declare the sound of victory at all times.

Yours,
Jeff
