PSALM 148 We Believe

1 JOHN 5 verse 1 and 2  Revised English Bible
1  Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ,
    is a child of God.
2  It follows that when we love God and obey
    his commandments, we love his children too.

"Believing" has a transforming effect on us.
One of the characteristics of New Testament prayer
is union with God's will.!
Believers singing psalm 148 find themselves in a
global spirituality of love and union
as we join in heavenly worship with ;-
                          all his angels,     verse 2  ESV   and
                          all his saints,      verse 14  ESV

We believe, and when we do ,we become aware of
our membership of, the community of God's love,
which is creation , since all things were created in love.

When the psalmist mentions
fire and hail, snow and ice
gales of wind that obey his voice         Psalm 148:8
we are to know that these things happen
according to the will of God.
It is the same God who says
I will give you understanding and 
set you in the way you must go.           Psalm 32:8

God's will is carried out in the hail and snow
and our own lives unfold according to the same will.
When we have an awareness of our own life being
an integral part of God's will and purpose
let's not resist, but go fully with it in His perfect love
for we believe His love is perfect.

John 3:16  KJV
For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish,
but have everlasting life.

John 20:29 NRSV
Blessed are those who have not seen
and yet have come to believe.

John 7:38 REB
Whoever believes in me , as scripture says,
" Streams of  living water shall flow from within him."
Jesus was speaking of the Holy Spirit
which believers in Him would later receive.,
because He had not yet been glorified.
