Psalm 47 & 48

Psalm 47 celebrates how awesome our God is.  It praises Him for choosing us as those He blesses and protects.  The psalmist reaffirms the fact that God is the ruler over all the nations.

Psalm 48 focuses on Zion, the chosen city.  God chose Zion as the city in which He would look over and that would foster future generations of followers.  The people of Zion recognize that God is their main defender and protector, and praise Him for that.  They let God protect their city and enemies were afraid to attack.  Shouldn't we let God handle more in our lives?  Give him more control over us?  If we did, it would be interesting to see what would happen and how our lives would be blessed.
