Psalms Lesson 12, Chapters 146-150

Levi concluded this series on Psalms with the final 5 songs in the book: chapters 146-150. These chapters wrap up the book with songs that are very fitting for this first week of Advent. Humans tend to visualize God in distorted ways. Whereas someone might be thinking of God as a stern and serious "killjoy"--He actually takes great pleasure in His people. He is delighted to give us joy in the best spiritual sense of the word. Celebration is throughout the book. Then sometimes a person may think of God as vengeful, yet he feels the greatest love and hope that we will repent of sin and grow in faith. These final chapters show these characteristics of God. He is an artist, so creative, so filled with imagination. We inherit these gifts and can use them to praise God. Hallelujah.
