If you've ever watched a game show or seen news coverage about a lottery, you've seen people clap, shout, and cry with joy over winning money, cars, homes or vacations.
There's nothing wrong with getting excited about some of these things, but let's put them in perspective: They're temporary things of this earth, not eternal.
As Christians, we have both earthly and eternal things to excite us! We are God's beloved children (1 John 3:1-2). This should inspire clapping, shouting, and crying with joy.
"Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy. For the LORD Most High is awesome, the great King over all the earth. Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises. For God is the King of all the earth; sing to him a psalm of praise." excerpts from Psalm 47
I admit that I sometimes take my wonderful Lord for granted, and it's good to be reminded so I can express my gratitude to my Lord and Savior.
Why not take a few moments today and read Psalm 34, 92, 100, 150, or another psalm of praise? Or you could write a list of God's blessings you enjoy and thank Him for each one. If you like to write poetry or prose, write a psalm of praise. Do something to show your love and excitement for our wonderful Lord!
