Transition back to RPI... and lots of reading..

Well, I really have no time to write unfortunately, but I wanted to comment on Psalm 9, which is another Psalm of praise and thanksgiving. I wish I was this adamant about praise to my God. I"m working on it. My goal is to praise God like like Psalm 9:

"I will praise you, O Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders. I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to you name, O Most High. My enemies turn back; they stumble and perish before you. For you have upheld my right and my cause; you have sat on your throne, judging righteously." (Psalm 9:1-4).

I definitely don't always praise my King with all my heart or tell of his wonders all the time. I think just living in America with a consumerist attitude, it's easy to want "stuff" from God, but no care about the true wonders. Stuff comes and goes; it's taken out with the trash regularly on Wednesday mornings. The wonders of God are eternal and all-consuming. Why do we ever covet shiny metal things in stores that have cool buttons, but we never wish for God's grace, peace, and truth which are far more valuable?
