Psalm 47
1 Clap your hands, all you nations;
shout to God with cries of joy.
2 How awesome is the LORD Most High,
the great King over all the earth!
3 He subdued nations under us,
peoples under our feet.
4 He chose our inheritance for us,
the pride of Jacob, whom he loved.
Selah
5 God has ascended amid shouts of joy,
the LORD amid the sounding of trumpets.
6 Sing praises to God, sing praises;
sing praises to our King, sing praises.
7 For God is the King of all the earth;
sing to him a psalm of praise.
8 God reigns over the nations;
God is seated on his holy throne.
9 The nobles of the nations assemble
as the people of the God of Abraham,
for the kings of the earth belong to God;
he is greatly exalted!

Learning about God and how to live our lives as imitators of Christ is always good. But sometimes we need to stop focusing on being like Him—instead, we need to be with Him. Praise Him. Glorify Him. He deserves our worship and thanksgiving, because he is God, and we are not.
Be still, and know that he is God. Don’t worry; he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion. Trust in his grace, which is sufficient to cover you when you feel like you are not enough. He is higher and greater than we could ever be—so praise him!
