Reading: Psalm 149 (Click to read text) Reflection: I love the first half of this psalm. “Sing,” “Praise,” “Be glad,” “Rejoice,” “Exult.” All because “the Lord takes pleasure in his people.” This summer we learned a new song at camp. Most of us fell in love with it. It is so simple, easy to learn and it ends on an intriguing tone. There is a technical term for how it ends, but I don’t know what the terms is. But it ends as if the song isn’t over. And maybe that’s what I like about it-- there is still more to come-- more God’s pleasure and more singing and praise. Here’s the words of the song, “Live Christ” by Celia Whitler: Live Christ, love Christ, share Christ, be Christ All these things, do today All these things, along your way Live peace, love peace, share peace, be peace All these things, do today All these things, along your way Live hope, love hope, share hope, be hope All these things, do today All these things, along your way Live love, love love, share love, be love All these things, do today All these things, along your way Live Christ, love Christ, share Christ, be Christ All these things, do today All these things, along your way --Jim Bricker, Chaplain to Camp Mount Luther’s Summer Staff
