Saturday Psalm & Praise Meme at Walking Therein
Posted By Jacque on December 31, 2009
In July, 2007, I had been wanting to begin a meme to worship Yahveh one day a week. I wanted it to be a worship meme in a manner different than most Christians are used to. I didn’t want to post the most popular worship songs just to do a post and have a great meme. I wanted to honestly write to give praise and worship to the Father. I found that most worship songs have the wrong focus. For this reason, I made one of the qualifications that the Psalm or song has to be a praise of Yahveh-God. In other words, I would like to see Psalms and songs that are not all about me, the worshiper or about how I have been blessed or can be blessed, etc. I have heard too many songs in recent years sung about me, my problems, my worship, etc. I wanted this to be directed to Yahveh-God. This is who we are to worship, and we need to make sure our hearts are set in that direction.
Truly, we all have to work it out for ourselves, and you need to make it yours. However, it is high time worship is not just all about how I want to do it or how I am this because of my worship. Saturday Psalm & Praise is a meme witha purpose: Just bring it to Yahveh-God for His glory. This is to be an offering to Him.
Since the inception of this meme 2+ years ago, we have become a Torah Observant family. This simply means that if the Scripture says it, we are compelled to do it, because we love and honour the Father, Yahveh. It does not mean that our salvation has changed in its meaning or its requirements. We gained our salvation through the Messiah, Yahshua, when we accepted him as our Messiah. Walking in the narrow path of the Scriptures is a worship and commitment to Yahveh and his love and promises to us.
Being Torah Observant, we celebrate the seventh day Sabbath, as Yahveh did in Genesis 2:
2 On the seventh day God was finished with his work which he had made, so he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 God blessed the seventh day and separated it as holy; because on that day God rested from all his work which he had created, so that it itself could produce.
as he commanded his people to in Exodus 31:
12 ADONAI said to Moshe, 13 “Tell the people of Isra’el, ‘You are to observe my Shabbats; for this is a sign between me and you through all your generations; so that you will know that I am ADONAI, who sets you apart for me. 14 Therefore you are to keep my Shabbat, because it is set apart for you. Everyone who treats it as ordinary must be put to death; for whoever does any work on it is to be cut off from his people. 15 On six days work will get done; but the seventh day is Shabbat, for complete rest, set apart for ADONAI. Whoever does any work on the day of Shabbat must be put to death. 16 The people of Isra’el are to keep the Shabbat, to observe Shabbat through all their generations as a perpetual covenant. 17 It is a sign between me and the people of Isra’el forever; for in six days ADONAI made heaven and earth, but on the seventh day he stopped working and rested.’”
All this to say that I post a praise to Yahveh on Saturday, on this meme, and many times, my post refers to Shabbat or Torah. You are welcome to do the same or not. This meme is specifically to praise Yahveh, and to praise Yahshua, but not only to write about Shabbat or Torah on. Please feel free to join us.
If you would like to join me in my Saturday Psalm & Praise, it’s simple!
1. Write a post on your blog about a favorite Psalm, Hymn or Worship Chorus or one that has spoken to you in the past week. Honestly, you are welcome to choose just about any Scripture. The only qualification is that whatever you choose has to be in praise of Yahveh-God.
2. You may just blog the Psalm/song or you can tell what impact is has had on you and your thoughts. Sometimes just the Psalm is enough. Sometimes we have to let out our own words of praise!
3. Please link your post to this week’s original SP&P. Please link this post on your post. I put a simple statement you can copy for this below.
4. Please do not upload the icon to your hoster and put it on your blog. Please get the code (that is HERE) or copy the image and put it on your post linked as is.
5. Oh, and make sure you sign your name to the Linky and link your actual post. Leave a comment if you like.
I try to get around and leave a comment on each post that links here, BUT I am too busy now to even blog more than a couple of times a week, so I have found it harder to get around and do that lately. Hopefully that will change soon.
Here is a simple phrase for you to copy when you participate to link back to WT:
