What stories are worth telling? As a movie buff, I watch each week as the box office totals roll in and people vote with their wallets on which movies have stories that are worth telling and worth hearing. And I would happily tell you about any of my favorites. In fact, I dare you to try to have a conversation with me where I don't reference a movie or TV show in the process. Some stories are just worth re-telling.
This psalm is a story worth re-telling. It is a story that rumbles through creation, echoing throughout all the earth. God draws nearer still in the dramatic rescue of a people from Egypt (nifty computer model here- http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireStory?id=11690108). The story isn't all happiness and sunshine, it involves hardship and frustration. Yet, God is still God. The story is still worth re-telling. So what story in your life is worth re-telling? Even bigger, is this story worth re-telling?
What's interesting about this psalm is that it doesn't have the whole thing in mind. After all, God's biggest move isn't featured in it at all- Jesus Christ. Yet, the psalm excitedly and passionately proclaims this story. How can we tell the story today?
