"Living In Love" -3

"The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong unto God: He is greatly exalted." (Psalms 47:9) The more I think about it, the more I think about it; you really can't make this stuff up! If you look at the meaning of "shields", it says, "This word implies a shield of a smaller size and extent than an armed man, used of a thief." In truth, we are really not equip to love the way that God loves; never mind the condition of our hearts, it's the condition of our minds that tend to destroy our abilities to obtain unconditional love. If we could just blank out every negative thought we have towards one another, maybe our hearts would have a chance to taste what God's love feels like, that is if it feels anything at all; which is primarily our biggest problem when it comes to love, because it is more than a feeling, it's a place! As hard as that might be to comprehend, it best describes what unconditional love comes close to, if it could be observed, if it was something to be looked upon, then it would be unmovable; which means that it is not affected by whatever comes it's way, because it does not move; therefore, it tends to change the things which come in contact with it's environment, yet it is not changed by those things, because it goes nowhere, it remains right where it is, no matter what. Therefore, my synopsis of this Psalm is in regards to the place; and since there is a place, then that place needs to have a King; and yes, that King is greatly exalted!
"Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people. Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee, because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee. Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD." (Isaiah 55:4-8)
