Hallelujah

"Standing in Jehovah God's house, in the courtyard of the house of our God," Psalm 135:2.

Who's standing there? God's people. What are they doing? Praising God. Hallelujahs singing! Why do they sing? Because God is good. Why do they sing hallelujahs? Because it's fun! Why do we sing praises to God? Because he chose us as his very own. Why did he choose this people? Because Jehovah himself made his servants worthy. Why did he vindicate us? Because he felt like it. He had compassion for us. No idols, no spiritual forces of darkness heard our cries, saw our distress, breathed the Spirit of life into us. But God, true God, only God overwhelmed every foe. His Messiah bore our every sin. And redeemed a people worthy to stand in his own house.

We meet with a brother or sister today so that we may give heart for each other in the courtyard of our God! And, together, we shout Hallelujah! for God is good. All the time. Praise you, God!
