So I was reading this morning:

"Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;
love and faithfulness go before you.
Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you,
who walk in the light of your presence, O Lord.
They rejoice in your name all day long;
they exult in your righteousness.
For you are their glory and strength..."
Psalm 89: 14-17

The word acclaim just jumped out at me so I went and looked it up.
What you read above is the dictionary meaning.
The next word that jumps out is: exult.
Dictionary meaning follows:


exult

1obsolete : to leap for joy2: to be extremely joyful : rejoice
— ex·ult·ing·ly \-ˈzəl-tiŋ-lē\ adverb

Okay...this really got me thinking....
I really need to practice this more....acclaiming to God, because "blessed are they
that learn to do this"....right?
And I really need to practice more leaping for joy and being extremely joyful...
because that is what God's Word is saying here..."all day long." Wow!

If I could really start applying this to my heart and life, I can about imagine the difference
in my days where I think I'm gonna go insane.

So, today....I'm going to start applying and if you walk past my house and think there's
a crazy party going on of jumping and shouting...don't be concerned or weirded out.

It will just be me, teaching these little monkies the meaning of acclaim and exult.
Because after all...it's the WORD OF GOD ,eh?
