All Praise Is God's

A beautiful thing about this time of year is that the weather changes. He designed this so that different areas of the world can support each other in times of need with food and other materials. The Jews celebrate this time of the year as the creation week and the Day of Atonement. The High Holiday season coincides with many celebrations throughout the world where renewal and harvest times are in full swing. There is something very special about this season. We celebrate these days in the coolness of Fall or the refreshing of Spring depending on the area of the hemisphere in which you dwell. 
God wants us to do more than view creation, He wants us to celebrate it and in turn celebrate Him. The Biblical tradition is to say Psalm 47, seven times the day before the New Year begins. I have copied it here so we can understand why this celebratory song is important. Let’s read it: 

    Clap your hands, all peoples! Shout to God with loud songs of joy! 
For the Lord, the Most High, is to be feared, a great king over all the earth.
He subdued peoples under us, and nations under our feet.
He chose our heritage for us, the pride of Jacob whom he loves. Selah
God has gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.
Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our King, sing praises!
For God is the King of all the earth; sing praises with a psalm!
God reigns over the nations; God sits on his holy throne.
The princes of the peoples gather as the people of the God of Abraham.
For the shields of the earth belong to God; he is highly exalted! Psalm 47

Why seven times you may ask? One for each day of creation including the day of rest. This is done in the Feast of Trumpets or RoshHashana. There is no real reason given as to why to blow the shofar or trumpet it is just because. 
As you can see by the Psalm, it is all about praising and celebrating God. There is no real reason to just celebrate on one day though as He seeks to know us and for us to know Him daily. It is just done that way. This Psalm does separate the Israelites from the rest of the world as God’s Chosen but it also recognizes that God is King over all the earth. When this trumpet sounds, all nations are to be reminded of God and His Laws from Days of Old. The Laws given to Adam and Noah to uphold the covenants for all time. 
So many people do not realize that we have had instruction since the first man that applies to all mankind. To be honest, the Laws are very simply stated but are at the same time complex. These Laws are also found in every early culture that had writing. When the Tower of Babel fell so did many cultures forget God but the Law never changed. No matter who we are, we are to Praise God and follow these Laws. 
We should praise God through reading and studying His Word daily following what we can in this day and age. Times have changed but God’s Word is eternal. Society tries to change God but as we have seen more recently, God is working through people. We will see some interesting things happen soon and the best way is to ask God to do as He sees fit but the condition is that He may give us a mission and we must comply no matter what. 
With the recent happenings at the ministry we can cry to God and say why or we can praise Him and thank Him. We lift God up in Praise and adoration for His lessons and the actions we must take. As the Doxology says, Praise God from whom ALL blessings flow. Praise Him ALL creatures here below. All creation gives praise to God. Even the rocks and trees give Him Glory.
Amen Brothers and Sisters,
In God’s Love,
