I wish that I could say the Psalms with true and proper devotion. At times I feel as though, as I say them, King David's lips are moving along with mine adding more intensity to the Psalms and breaking barriers.
Then I get to the changing parts. At first the Psalmist begins with "Oh God, you....." or even a more distant "Oh God, He who...." but then, at some point deep into the Psalm we get to " I, God, ......" How connected that is!!! That we should read the psalms and come so close to the Holy One that at some point we are allowed to even say the words, "I". Its as if, if done with proper devotion, we have meditated and elevated and become one so to speak.
An example: In psalm 46:
He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; He burneth the chariots in the fire.
11 'Let be, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.'
12 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. Selah {P}
At what level should we be, to be saying "I am..."???!!! What type of music would fit this crescendo?
*sigh*
