Contributor: Travis Barlock, MD Educational Pearls: Wheezing is classically heard in asthma and COPD, but it can be the result of a wide range of processes that cause airflow limitation Narrowed bronchioles lead to turbulent airflow → creates the wheezing Crackles (rales) suggest pulmonary edema which is often due to heart failure Approximately 35% of heart failure patients have bronchial edema, which can also produce wheezing COPD and heart failure can coexist in a patient, and both of these diseases can cause wheezing It's vital to differentiate whether the wheezing is due to the patient's COPD or their heart failure because the treatment differs Diagnosing wheezing due to heart failure (cardiac asthma): Symptoms: orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea Diagnostic tools: bedside ultrasound Treatment: diuresis and BiPAP for respiratory support Not all wheezing is asthma Consider heart failure in the differential and tailor treatment accordingly References 1.

Nvidia exists to serve a mission and not for the sake of perpetuating its existenceShip the Whole Cow: Nvidia found ways to package and sell hardware that it previously would have discarded; this helped it mitigate low-end market competition and insulate itself from the innovator's dilemmaComplacency kills: The enemy is not the competition, but the company falling victim to complacency – both real and imaginedJensen's keys to success:(1) He puts in more effort than his peers and (2) He has a willingness to tolerate more suffering than those around him* Greatness does not come from intelligence; it comes from character, which can only be earned from overcoming adversities and developing perseveranceHistory's greatest founders spend a lot of time teaching within their organization* Founders Thread: “If you're not spending 90% of your time teaching, then you're not doing your job.” – James Sinegal of Costco* Founders Thread – Apple is Steve Jobs with 10,000 lives* The best founders are evangelists for their companies; examples include Steve Jobs,​ Palmer Luckey​, and Sir James DysonThe Whiteboard Method: Using a whiteboard is the primary form of communication in Nvidia meetings; everyone must demonstrate their thought process in real-time, and be willing to eventually erase an idea – no matter how good it isGo Fast or Die: “You can drive great people away by making the speed of decision-making really slow. Why would great people stay in an organization where they can't get things done? They look around and say, ‘Hey, I love the mission, but I can't get my job done because the speed of decision-making is too slow.”Value of A flat organizational structure(1) Enables employees to act with more independence and (2) Filters out low-performing employees who are unaccustomed to thinking for themselvesF Your Feelings: Jensen tortures people into greatness: The quality of the work is the most important thing, not people's feelings* “I wake up every morning, look at myself in the mirror, and say: ‘You suck.'” – Jensen Huang* “I don't like giving up on people.

Before that, keeping time on a ship or in different time zones was nearly impossibleFun fact #2: The Gutenberg Bible was used as a standard for vision quality in the past. They would test eyesight by making people read it from a certain distance since it had a fixed font size. This was way before modern eye chartsPineal Gland (get rid of that flouride): Most animals have a pineal gland that secretes melatonin based on light. “This is the intrinsic clock-keeping mechanism of all mammalian species and reptiles.” – Huberman* Birds have thin skulls, so light can pass right through to the pineal gland* Humans are different: Our pineal gland is buried deep in the brain, so light doesn't reach it directly. Instead, light info gets passed from the eyes through a pathway to the pineal gland.Gender Symmetry: Women are more symmetrical than menEyes Are Outside Brains: Retinas, which line the back of the eyes, are part of the central nervous system and were squeezed out of the brain during early development* Eyes are the only portion of your brain that reside outside the cranial vaultHubble made two major discoveries: that the Milky Way isn't the entire universe, and that the universe is expanding“The Big Bang is not the origin of time and space, it's the origin of the first elements in the periodic table.” – BrianThe best places in the Northern Hemisphere to see spectacular nighttime views:* Yosemite High Country in August for meteor showers would be a great option* Anywhere 20-40 miles from a large city should be fine.

It allows you to evaluate your environment and decide what to do* It primes the immune system to combat bacterial or viral infectionsTool: eye dilation* Without moving your head or eyes, shift from tunnel vision to panoramic vision (see more of your surroundings)* This activates circuits in the brainstem associated with calming and reduces alertness/stress* For example: While running or cycling at max capacity or 80–90% of your maximum effort, practice dilating your gazeBest tools to modulate long-term stress:* Regular exercise (who would've thought!)* Prioritizing good sleep* Using real-time tools to manage stress response (e.g., breathing exercises)* Social connection (one of the most effective ways to combat long-term stress)​Theanine​ (L-theanine):* Recommended dose: 100–200 mg, 30–60 minutes before sleep* Benefits:* Enhances the transition into sleep and improves sleep depth.* Increases GABA, an inhibitory neurotransmitter* Reduces activity in the forebrain, calming thinking and ruminative systems* Stress and anxiety:* Proven to significantly increase relaxation* Shown to have a minor yet notable effect on anxiety​Tyler Cowen – Humans Are The Bottleneck to AI Progress | Dwarkesh Patel ​Cost disease and AI: Cost disease happens when wages rise across the board due to productivity gains in some industries, but sectors like healthcare or education, where productivity is harder to improve, still need to pay higher wages—making their costs go upTech diffusion is universally pretty slow: While people in the Bay Area are the smartest, most dynamic, and most ambitious, they tend to overvalue intelligenceSome kind of demoralization may materialize in the AI future: Full employment is likely to remain, but it is not clear what humans will be doing or how happy it will make us.The Risks of Progress: War should always be the main concern during a period of rapid technological progress; throughout history, when new technologies emerge, they are turned into instruments of war, and terrible things can happenPREMIUM:* ​David Deutsch: Chemical Scum that Dream of Distant Quasars | TED 2005​* ​Scott Galloway on How Stoicism Can Benefit Young Men | Daily Stoic with Ryan Holiday​* ​Mike Cernovich – Escaping Sam Altman's Techno-Slavery | Zero Hour with James Poulos​FREE:* ​Jensen Huang – Founder of Nvidia | Founders Podcast with David Senra​* ​Dr. Brian Keating: Charting the Architecture of the Universe & Human Life | Huberman Lab​* ​Tools for Managing Stress & Anxiety | Huberman Lab Essentials​* ​Tyler Cowen – Humans Are The Bottleneck to AI Progress | Dwarkesh Patel​ Thank you for subscribing.

This Day in Legal History: Birth of Alice Paul January 11 marks an important date in legal history, as it is the birthdate of Alice Paul, a pivotal figure in the women's suffrage movement in the United States. Born on this day in 1885, in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, Paul grew up in a well-to-do Quaker family known for its commitment to equality and social justice. Her upbringing played a significant role in shaping her advocacy for women's rights.Alice Paul attended Swarthmore College and later went on to earn a doctorate in social work from the University of Pennsylvania. Her academic journey took her to England, where she joined the women's suffrage movement, learning militant tactics from Emmeline Pankhurst's Women's Social and Political Union. Paul returned to the United States in 1910, bringing with her a new vigor and approach to the suffrage movement.In the U.S., she found the existing suffrage movement lacking in dynamism and urgency. To revitalize it, she joined the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) and quickly became the head of their Congressional Committee. Her first major campaign was the organization of a suffrage parade in Washington, D.C., on March 3, 1913, strategically timed to coincide with President Woodrow Wilson's inauguration.Paul's tactics were notably more aggressive than those of her predecessors. She organized pickets, parades, and strikes, which often led to her and other suffragists being arrested. Her efforts, however, significantly boosted public awareness and support for the suffrage cause.In 1916, Paul formed the National Woman's Party (NWP), a more radical group focused solely on securing a constitutional amendment for women's suffrage. The NWP's relentless campaigning, including picketing the White House, was instrumental in leading to the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920, granting women the right to vote.Following the suffrage victory, Alice Paul continued her advocacy, authoring the Equal Rights Amendment in 1923, a piece of legislation designed to guarantee equal legal rights for all American citizens regardless of sex. Though it has yet to be ratified, the ERA remains a testament to her lifelong commitment to gender equality.Alice Paul's legacy is profound, and her strategies and philosophies continue to influence civil rights movements. She passed away on July 9, 1977, and was laid to rest in the Westfield Friends Burial Ground in Cinnaminson, New Jersey, continuing to inspire generations of activists in the fight for equality. Happy 138th birthday, Ms. Paul.The recent legal victory of the IRS in a significant tax fraud case involving syndicated easements could mark a turning point in the government's approach to these controversial tax transactions. In the case, real estate developer Jack Fisher, aged 71, was sentenced to 25 years in prison and ordered to pay $458 million in restitution by the US District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. His co-defendant, James Sinnott, received a 23-year sentence and a similar restitution order.The case centered around a fraudulent scheme using syndicated easements, where partnerships buy land and donate development rights to claim large tax deductions. Fisher and Sinnott's operation, which started in 2008 and expanded in 2013, involved inflated appraisals and forged documents. This type of transaction has seen nearly $36 billion in unwarranted deductions claimed from 2010 to 2018, leading to bipartisan legislation in 2022 to curb such practices.The substantial prison sentences and restitution in this case represent a rare and significant win for the government against a practice that has long eluded effective regulation. The outcome could influence future prosecutions and IRS cases in Tax Court, making it easier for the IRS to win against similar deals. The case highlights the need for the IRS to effectively review returns and manage valuation-based Tax Court cases, which have been both challenging and time-consuming.IRS Criminal Investigation Chief Jim Lee emphasized the agency's commitment to tackling abusive tax shelters using their financial expertise. The magnitude of the sentences and restitution should serve as a deterrent to those still promoting syndicated transactions. Legal experts and observers note that the case exposes the blatant valuation abuses in these transactions and underscores the urgency for individuals involved in similar activities to seek legal advice.The case against EcoVest, a company promoting syndicated easements, was settled in March 2023 without admission of wrongdoing, although the government had alleged $3 billion in improper deductions. The outcome of Fisher and Sinnott's case is seen as a warning to others in the industry, signaling the government's increased scrutiny and potential legal repercussions in such tax evasion schemes.IRS Victory in Land Tax Case Could Speed Government CrackdownThe civil fraud trial involving former U.S. President Donald Trump in New York is nearing its conclusion, with closing arguments scheduled for Thursday. Trump is facing nearly $370 million in penalties as New York Attorney General Letitia James alleges that he and his associates significantly inflated the value of his assets for over a decade to obtain better financial terms from banks. Trump denies these allegations, claiming the trial is politically motivated and a hindrance to his 2024 presidential campaign.Justice Arthur Engoron, who is presiding over the trial, rejected Trump's request to deliver his own closing arguments, aiming to avoid a "campaign speech" scenario. This trial is one of several legal challenges Trump faces amid his campaign to contest the 2024 election against President Joe Biden. Engoron will deliver the verdict later, without a jury, after previously finding Trump liable for fraud in September. The focus of the trial has been on determining the amount Trump should pay in ill-gotten gains.Trump has expressed frustration with Engoron's handling of the trial, including a gag order and a $15,000 fine for violating it. The state's lawyers have presented evidence that Trump consistently overvalued his assets. Trump, in his testimony, defended his valuations and accused James and Engoron of political bias. A notable moment in the trial was the testimony of Michael Cohen, Trump's former lawyer, who claimed Trump directed him to manipulate asset values on financial statements.Trump's children, Donald Jr., Eric, and Ivanka, also testified, denying involvement in preparing the financial statements. While Ivanka is not a defendant like her brothers, all three have denied any wrongdoing.In addition to this trial, Trump faces potential criminal trials related to his attempts to overturn the 2020 election, handling of classified documents, and a hush money case in New York. He has pleaded not guilty in all these cases.Trump's $370 million civil fraud trial set to conclude in NY | ReutersU.S. House Republicans are moving towards holding Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, in contempt of Congress. This action follows Hunter's refusal to testify in a closed-door deposition concerning an impeachment probe of his father. Hunter unexpectedly appeared at a House Oversight Committee meeting, causing a stir and leading to heated exchanges between lawmakers.Republican Representative Nancy Mace criticized Hunter for not attending the deposition, accusing him of being afraid. The House Republicans claim that President Biden and his family improperly benefited from policy actions during his vice-presidency from 2009 to 2017, allegations both the White House and Hunter Biden deny.Hunter Biden is facing separate legal issues, including a federal court appearance in Los Angeles regarding unpaid taxes of $1.4 million and charges in Delaware related to lying about drug use while purchasing a handgun. He has pleaded not guilty to the Delaware charges.Democratic Representative Jared Moskowitz questioned why the committee refused Hunter's offer to testify then and there. Hunter Biden's attorney, Abbe Lowell, stated that they had previously offered to cooperate with the House committees but were ignored. Lowell criticized the subpoena for a private deposition as a tactic misused by Republicans.The full House usually votes on contempt of Congress certification following a committee vote. Since 2008, the House has held 10 people in contempt, but the Justice Department has only sought indictments for two: Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro, advisors to former President Donald Trump. There is no precedent for a sitting president's family member being held in contempt of Congress. Contempt of Congress carries a penalty of up to $100,000 and imprisonment for one to 12 months.House Republicans move toward holding Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress | ReutersThomas Girardi, a disbarred plaintiffs attorney, is set to stand trial for fraud beginning May 21 in Los Angeles, significantly earlier than the February 2025 date his lawyers requested. The trial's scope will be narrowed to focus on four specific cases brought by Girardi's clients, as decided by the prosecutors to avoid delays. The Assistant US Attorney, Ali Moghaddas, emphasized that the trial would not go beyond the indictment's scope.Judge Josephine Staton of the Central District of California remarked that the case doesn't seem overly complex and has been pending for quite some time. Girardi's public defenders had sought a later trial date to prepare adequately, especially after focusing on assessing Girardi's ability to stand trial due to his cognitive impairment.In early January, Judge Staton determined that Girardi had mild-to-moderate cognitive impairment but had exaggerated his decline to avoid trial. The prosecution expressed concerns that any further delay might again raise questions about Girardi's competency.The discovery process has been extensive, with the government subpoenaing over a dozen banks, the state bar, and bankruptcy trustees for complaints against Girardi and others. However, much of the received documentation was deemed irrelevant to the current case. The prosecution has been asked to highlight key documents for the defense.Girardi faces wire fraud charges in Los Angeles related to allegedly stealing millions from clients in litigation over the 2018 Lion Air Boeing 737 MAX crash. He also faces charges in Illinois. The case will reconvene on February 23 to discuss discovery matters.Girardi Trial Set for May, Scope Is ‘Significantly' Narrowed (1) Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

Getting diagnosed with a constriction or blockage in the arteries that supply blood to your brain can be quite daunting, as Nancy from South Carolina can confirm. She discovered she had carotid artery disease,which put her in danger of having a stroke. The carotid arteries, one on each side of the neck, are crucial blood vessels that provide blood to the brain, neck, and face. About one-third of all stroke cases are associated with diseased carotids. This disease arises when fatty residues, known as plaque, accumulate in these arteries. Alarmingly, in its initial stages, this disease often goes unnoticed due to a lack of symptoms. It only becomes noticeable when it becomes severe enough to deprive the brain of oxygen, resulting in a stroke or a transient ischemic attack (TIA). Lucky for Nancy, she discovered her condition early as she was under close observation following a heart attack. During a routine medical examination, a Physician Assistant detected a bruit, a turbulent flow in her neck arteries, using a stethoscope. In today's episode, Nancy shares her journey from diagnosis to receiving advanced treatment. Also joining us is the globally recognized Interventional Cardiologist Dr. Ehrin Armstrong, who discusses treatment guidelines and ongoing debates that could alter how and when doctors can offer more than just medication to enhance blood flow and avoid severe complications.

He also highlights the significance of good movement and orthopedics for proper hip separation and flexion in squats.The topic of athlete nourishment is also addressed, with Dr. Heenan suggesting a goal of consuming 1000 calories before 9 AM, even for female athletes. However, the focus is not just on calorie intake but on consuming quality calories. He explains the importance of having a solid breakfast with high-quality proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.Sleep and recovery are highlighted as crucial factors for athletes. Dr. Heenan recommends getting 7 to 10 hours of sleep and mentions other strategies like cold plunges and sauna use, depending on the specific needs of each athlete.The podcast also touches on the mental health of athletes.  Dr. Heenan discusses the role strength and conditioning coaches play in being the first line of defense and having regular contact with athletes.The discussion then moves towards individualizing training approaches for athletes.  Dr. Heenan emphasizes the uniqueness of each athlete and the importance of considering their mental and physical condition when determining the appropriate training program.  He likens the use of different training tools to the appropriate use of tools, highlighting the need for careful consideration and customization.Dr. Heenan believes in having a wide range of knowledge to refer clients to the appropriate specialists when needed. The importance of balancing health and well-being with safety is stressed.  For younger athletes, he sees strength and conditioning coaches as educated big brothers, guiding them.The episode concludes with a focus on specific movements and techniques in training.

An oceanographer, who co-led an expedition to create the first map of the Titanic on the ocean floor, believes authorities should narrow their search for the missing Titan to a five to ten kilometre circle of the shipwreck. David Gallo's best friend is Titan passenger Paul-Henri Nargeolet, a 77 year old retired French Navy commander who has visited the Titanic wreck more than 35 times. He says if Mr Nargeolet is still alive, it's likely he's the one searchers have heard banging. Oxygen is due to run out onboard the Titan just after 11PM New Zealand time. Earlier this afternoon, Mr Gallo told Lisa Owen about the journey to the Titanic. [embed] https://players.brightcove.net/6093072280001/default_default/index.html?videoId=6329895092112

NASCAR has penalized Stewart-Haas Racing after Cole Custer was found to have deliberately held up a line of traffic late in Sunday's Bank of America ROVAL 400 to help teammate Chase Briscoe lock up the final playoff spot in the Round of 8.  Rod Mullins joins "Street Knowledge" to help us sort out what happened.

I want you to imagine a group of travelers, weather worn, tired, ready to settle down for the evening. It's been a long day of walking and though they can see a city just ahead on the horizon they decide to set up camp for the night, along the roadside, with the aim to reach the city the next day. Sun sets, the stars are out, it's quiet, this weary group of travelers are quickly asleep.But the next morning they're awaken to the crashing of a cymbal, the thunder of drumbeats, the vibration of the ground caused by a thousand marching footsteps along that dry, desert road. What's all the commotion? What's all the noise? Is it war? Is it disaster? Is it chaos? Is it catastrophe?They look up to a sea of people heading toward them, they're smiling, and they're singing. Can you imagine the bewilderment you might feel from waking up to such a sight? The slap-in-the-face type startle from opening your eyes to a scene like that? It'd make you want to pause time and just say, “Hold on a second, give me a minute to get my wits here! Just give me a moment to catch up!” And you're motioning to this smiling sea of people in front to you, “timeout, timeout”, but your voice is crowded out by their own. They're sound, and their song, is coming your way whether you are ready or not.That's, I think, what opening up to Psalm 47 is supposed to feel like. This Psalm seems designed to come firing right out of the gate. It provides you with no warm-up. You open it up and like a current it grabs ahold and pulls you in and takes you along for a journey.Worship (No explanation Needed)“Clap your hands, all peoples!” Those are the first words of this Psalm! It's the wake-up call. “Shout to God with loud songs of Joy!” It's an on-the-spot command. This Psalm demands your participation. “Clap your hands, all peoples! Shout to God with loud songs of Joy!” Worship God (period).As you hear that, you might, like the opening scene with the group of travelers, respond with questions. Why are we clapping our hands right now? Why are we shouting to God with loud songs of joy now? These are context questions. Simply asking what God did that we're responding to him in such a way? Like what just happened?It's like the guy at the football game who leaves his seat in the stadium to go buy a quick hot dog from the concessions. He's mid-swipe of his credit card and hears the crowd roar and runs out there to take a look, “What'd I miss, did we kick a field goal, score a touchdown, recover a fumble?” That's what we're doing here, responding to the command with questions that's help us get our context.And it makes sense for us to do so, for often in the Old Testament this kind of worship, especially in the form of song, is done in response to something remarkable that God has just done — like God's rescue of his people out of Egypt, which prompts the song of Moses. And so we're asking, is that what verse one here, “Clap your hands, shout to God with loud songs of joy” is referring to, is it referring to some other events, what's going on?Asking context questions like these are generally a good thing for us to do as readers of the Bible. We want to look for detail, we want to dig to find out what's happening in the text. But note how we keep framing the questions, “What did God do?”This question betrays one of the fundamental ways our sin has messed us up, for we assume that if God is being worshipped, let alone being worshipped with clapping of hands and loud shouts of joy, then that must mean that he did something to elicit such a response. That's the way we think because that's the way we, in our sin, often relate to God. God, and who he is as God, is a small thing to us. Stale. Humdrum. Perhaps his God-ness, at times, may stir up a mild form of worship from us, might prompt a mellow current of joy within us, but it's his actions, his miracles, on our behalf, these are the things that really get us going.So when we hear this grand call to worship, followed by verse 2, “For the LORD, the Most High, is to be feared, a great king over all the earth,” We might think, “Oh, is that all? Like the thought of God just falls flat for us… We were expecting something just a bit more attention-grabbing than just him. If that's us this morning then I believe a good piece of counsel for us would be to go over to Isaiah 6, and see how Isaiah — a human being just like you and me — reacted when he saw God, just God, being there, as the heavens opened to the sight of the one who had told Moses no one shall see my face and live. The one whom the apostle John would see and fall down on his face as though dead, the one before whom the mighty, heavenly Seraphim cover their faces and ever sing for joy, “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!” if we were to see what he saw we would think ourselves insane and unfit to live for asking such a question as, “What did God do to elicit our worship?” We would be, like Isaiah, every one of us, bowed down to the ground saying, “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips” for what? What does Isaiah say next? “Woe is me…for my eyes have seen the king!” He merely saw him. Saw God, just God, being there. — That is the immeasurable awesomeness of our God. That's the overwhelming power of his mere presence. That's the other-worldly beauty, value, splendor, and majesty of our King!And the Psalmist will tell us more about this God, he will retell in the ensuing verses the works of God in our world, but lest the actions of God shine brighter in our hearts than the person of God, the Psalmist writes, “For the LORD, the Most High, is to be feared, a great king over all the earth.”That's why we're being called to worship him right now. That's why we're being called to shout to him in joyous praise. Because he is God. His greatness is immeasurable, his power is uncontainable, his wisdom is unfathomable, and his value is infinite, he is God! He is the LORD, He is the Most High, He is the great king over the earth, and He is to be feared. Worship God for He is God.The Psalm could end right after that and that'd be just fine. There'd be no problem with that. We need no further explanation or further reason to worship this king.A Local TurnAs it is, however, having set this foundation — God is King — the Psalmist makes a drastic transition from looking upon God on a scale that transcends the universe, to narrowing the scope to God and his actions in a certain time, on behalf of a certain people. The text reads, “He (God) subdued peoples under us, and nations under our feet. He chose our heritage for us, the pride of Jacob whom he loves.”It's a reference to the Israelites following their entrance into the land of Canaan. As you might recall, the land of Canaan had been promised to Abraham and his descendants, but following their exile in Egypt, there journey through the desert, and there crossing of the River Jordan, Abraham's descendants, the Israelites, had arrived in Canaan to find that it was still a land flowing with milk, and honey, and mighty nations. But, as the book of Joshua notes, and this Psalm echoes, God would subdue those nations. He'd place them under the feet of these Israelites. From Jericho and onward the land of Canaan would become the heritage of the people of Israel.Fast forward a bit to the time of King David, when he brought the ark of the covenant up to Jerusalem. 2 Samuel 6 recounts this event, saying, “David danced before the LORD with all his might. (He) and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting and with the sound of the horn.” Again, the Psalmist now seems to be echoing this event, verse 5 of Psalm 47, “God has gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.” You see that. Interestingly enough, The Hebrew of “sound of the horn” in 2 Sam. 6, and the Hebrew of “sound of a trumpet” in Psalm 47 is the same from one to the other.So the Psalmist has narrowed the scope here, echoed these two major events in the life of Israel — God conquering the enemies of Israel and delivering to them a land as their heritage. God being celebrated as King through the Ark of the covenant and its entrance into Jerusalem.And you might think, “Okay, I think I can see the connection here, the general claim about God's kingship in the world has been made in verses 1-2 (Worship God for he is God), and now we're digging into Israel's history to see proofs of that claim. We might paraphrase, “Yahweh is the Most High, to be feared, a great king over all the earth…and in case you have any doubts about that, look at the massive victories he won through the previously insignificant and prone to wander people of Israel.” Major idea (God is God) …supporting evidence (Look what he did here). Is that how this Psalm works? Kind of.We do have here an example, a demonstration, of God's kingly authority in the world. But that's only part of what's going on here. To think of these verses only in the sense of serving as an example, providing proof, would be to, in a sense, make them stagnant. But as we read the Psalm in full, we see that we just can't do that, for this Psalm has movement to it. This Psalm has a progression. This Psalm tells a story that's being set into motion.What is the movement? The Progression? The story? Here it is, and I really want you to tune in here. Here's the story of the Psalm, and really, it's almost the whole story of the Bible in miniature. Here it is: God is the God over all the world (period). And God purposed to win worshippers from all throughout the world (2x). That's the story we're getting caught up into with this Psalm. And one hint that that's where we're heading, is that although we narrow in on this tightly defined people — the Israelites, where do we end in verse 9? The gathering in of the people of the God of Abraham. Narrowed into Israel, but the story culminates with the gathering in of the people of the God of Abraham. Think back to Abraham.AbrahamSome of you will recall that God said to Abraham back in Genesis 12, “I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great,…and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed” (Gen. 12:2-3). That was God's promise to Abraham, and that promise would move forward with the birth of Isaac, then with the birth of Jacob, the changing of Jacob's name to Israel, the nation that'd come from him, the Israelites, and their sojourn in Egypt, their crossing of the Red Sea, their wandering through the desert and up to Canaan where God would subdue the peoples before them, put the nations below their feet, God would win for them the Land of Canaan their heritage.God is God over all the world. God purposed to win worshippers from all throughout the world. God's plan would begin with Abraham, and it'd culminate with the ingathering of the people of the God of Abraham. What was to be the cause of multiplication in between that'd bridge from singular Abraham to the multitude of the people of the God of Abraham? What would be the vehicle that bring us from promise made to promise fulfilled? Israel (2x). Their movement as a people, their conduct as a people, their communication as a people was to result in the growth and ingathering of the people of the God of Abraham.That's where this Psalm beings us. Verse 6, It says, five times over Sing praises to God. “Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our King, We've just recalled the movement, victory, and expansion of the people of Israel and the result, or so it seems, it this fivefold call to sing praise to God. It's as if this call is being sent out from Israel to all the ends of the world: sing praises! sing praises! sing praises! sing praises! sing praises!.The Psalmist, an Israelite, says sing praise to “Our King.” The Psalmist is an Israelite. He's saying sing to our king, Yahweh. But then he goes on in the same breath to say, For God is the king of all the earth. See he's our king in that he's covenanted with us, he's the king we uniquely represent. But make no mistake, he is at the exact same time the king of all the earth. see, Babylonians, you think your god Marduk is king, but he's not. Egyptians, you think your god Ra is king, he's not. Canaanites you think your god Ba'al is king, he's not. But, nations, the fact that the god you've been worshipping is not king, doesn't mean you are without a king. The God of Israel is the God over of all this world, including your land and your people. And you, citizens of this world, are being called now to worship Him.And it's not optional. Kings don't make decrees that are optional. if you will not worship this king, he will, as your king, rightfully subdue you and place you under his feet. But if you will worship him, if you turn and worship him. verse 8-9: God reigns over the nations…sits on his holy throne. The princes of the peoples (the nations) gather as the people of the God of Abraham.”Nations, your blessing has arrived. Your invitation is waiting. Look out at that sea of people approaching on the horizon. They're comprised of the princes of the peoples, the leaders of the nations. The Emperors, Sultans, lords, Barons, presumably with others of the men and women form their nations. They have heard the invitation to sing praises to God and they have joined in with clapping, shouting, and songs of joy.And they are gathering together, together, not as a secondary class of worshippers, not as extras on the stage of redemption, but as the people of the God of Abraham.God is God over all the world. God is to win worshippers from all throughout the world. And here they are. “The princes of the peoples gather as the people of the God of Abraham. For the shields of the earth belong to God; he is highly exalted!” That's the story of this Psalm.What's the application for us here, today? I have two, both in the form of a question:Do you see in this Psalm God's pursuit of you?Think about it, most of us here today are not Israelites, we have no bloodline reaching back to Israel, and yet, here we are, in this very Psalm. The people of the God of Abraham. I mean read Galatians 3:7-8 “It is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham. And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you shall all the nations be blessed.” God's pursuit of worshippers, begun with Abraham, carried through the Israelites, this was a pursuit that included you. Don't push this away. Don't say, “God wasn't thinking of me back then. I wasn't in his mind when he called Abraham, when he led Israel. No? Then do you suppose you got into the family of God apart from his notice? Do you suppose he hadn't thought this far out in advance? Do you disagree with Ephesians 1, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world.” He chose you before the foundations of the world, you are now a part of the people of Abraham, this story, of God's pursuit of worshippers includes God's pursuit of you.Do you see in this Psalm God's Rightful Authority over you?If God is king of the world, then that means he is king over you. If the clapping of hands and shouts of joy from all the world are being directed toward him, then they are not being directed to you. This is not the way we, in our sin, prefer things. We'd prefer the crown of human praises to be placed upon our heads. We'd prefer the ability to declare right from wrong within our minds. We'd prefer the authority over what we are allowed to do be placed in our hands. But we are not king of this world. We are not king of ourselves. We are under a king. A great king. The LORD, the Most High, the one who is to be feared. So what area of your life has yet to submit to this king? Your home life, work like, your eyes and where you let them wander? Your mind and where you let it drift? Your feet and where you let them take you? We are under a king. A great king. May it be said that we held nothing back whether thought, word, or deed, from his lordship. Do you see in this Psalm God's Authority over you?TableThis Psalm, as great as it is, has a gap. Like a major gap. Because what we don't see in this Psalm is anything about how this is going to happen. How do we get from Israel in verses 3-5 to this myriad of people of the God of Abraham in verse 9? Because remember, Israel failed. They did not win the nations to God, they went into the nations and were won over by them. Worshipped their gods, took on their religions, were brought into their spiritual families. Following the penning of this Psalm, Israel, after falling repeatedly into idol-worship, were exiled into Babylon, brought back as subjects to foreign nations, and were by all intents-and-purposes lost.But God's plan had not failed. For God was to call one man. Not Abraham, but Jesus, an Israelite. From this one man he would make a people who would go out into the world to bless the nations and win the nations into the family of the people of the God of Abraham. This man, Jesus, would pay for the entrance of each and every one of these new members into his family with his blood. His body would break, his blood would flow, so that his righteousness through faith could be counted to them, to us, and so that the Father could look upon me and you and say, “Son” “Daughter” welcome to the family.That's what this table is about. That's what this meal is about. We celebrate that Jesus is the King over all this world. And Jesus, by his life, death, and resurrection, has paid for and won worshippers from throughout all the world. And Jesus will one day come again to take us, the people of the God of Abraham, home, where we will clap our hands, and shout to him with a new song of joy: “Worthy are you for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation…and now To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!” (Rev.5:9).Let's pray.
