Psa 81:1, …Sing aloud to God our strength; Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob.
To the CONGREGATION SING LOUD to our GOD, who is worthy to be praised!
Psa 81:2, Raise a song and strike the timbrel, The pleasant harp with the lute.
To the WORSHIP LEADERS, skillfully play your instruments with Joy!
Psa 81:3, Blow the trumpet at the time of the New Moon, At the full moon, on our solemn feast day.
To the PRIEST, Blow the trumpet in reverence to HIM! WE ALL HAVE A PART IN THE WORSHIP OF OUR GOD; FOR HE CREATED EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US!
Psa 100:3-4, Know that the LORD, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. ENTER INTO HIS GATES WITH THANKSGIVING, AND INTO HIS COURTS WITH PRAISE. BE THANKFUL TO HIM, AND BLESS HIS NAME.
Psa 81:6-7, “I REMOVED HIS SHOULDER FROM THE BURDEN; HIS HANDS WERE FREED FROM THE BASKETS. YOU CALLED IN TROUBLE, AND I DELIVERED YOU; I answered you in the secret place of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah
Israel was a slave in Egypt, Their bondage was hard! Israel called upon the LORD for help!
Exo 2:23, …Then the children of Israel groaned because of the bondage, and they cried out; and their cry came up to God because of the bondage.
We, as well, were slaves to sin; we needed to fulfill our lust, drugs, partying etc.! But the LORD opened our eyes and set us free!
Joh 8:36, THEREFORE IF THE SON MAKES YOU FREE, YOU SHALL BE FREE INDEED.
After some 400 years of cruel bondage in Egypt Israel started calling on the LORD for help! SOME PEOPLE MUST HIT BOTTOM BEFORE THEY ARE ABLE TO LOOK UP FOR HELP! HUMBLE YOURSELF AND CALL UPON GOD FOR HE IS ALWAYS THERE, AND KNOWS WHAT’S HAPPENING IN YOUR LIFE!
Mat 11:28, COME TO ME, ALL YOU WHO LABOR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST.
