AN ANONYMOUS TIP
Today's reading:  Psalm 146-148

"Praise the Lord!  Praise the Lord, I tell myself."  Psalm 146:1 NLT

The author of the 146th psalm is anonymous.  No name is given credit for writing it.  No one receives the honor of penning the words for the Lord.

But I know quite a bit about this fella.

First off, he knows the Lord deserves praise.  He and I are a lot alike in that area.

Secondly, he repeats himself.  Once again, it may be a distant relation of mine.

Thirdly, and this is where the similarities get personal, he has to remind himself--aloud.

I know the Lord should be praised.  I know things happening here on earth are only temporary and He is not.  I am well aware of the voices in my head attempting to distract my attention from worshipping my Savior.  I have become accustomed to the fact that I sometimes have to jerk myself back into reality by talking to myself.

I appreciate this anonymous tip-giver.  He's telling on himself--and he's reminding us of what we must do to give honor and glory and praise to the Lord.
