David Sedaris is a writer whose humorous stories and wry takes on everyday encounters have led to 13 bestselling books and many radio programmes including Meet David Sedaris on BBC Radio 4. His work is based on his own life and, although very funny, does not shy away from the bleaker aspects of his experiences. David was born in New York State and grew up in Raleigh in North Carolina. He dropped out of university and became a performance artist for a while, but says he lacked artistic talent and chose not to pursue art as a career. In 1990 he moved to New York City where he supported himself by working as a Christmas elf called Crumpet at Macy's department store. He wrote an essay about this experience called Santaland Diaries which he read on National Public Radio. His performance attracted an enthusiastic response from listeners and led to his first major break as a writer and broadcaster. David's later collections of stories and essays have won non-fiction awards and in 2002 he gave a sold-out performance at Carnegie Hall in New York. The recording of this event was later nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album. David's most recent collection of essays addresses a range of subjects including the end of Donald Trump's administration, the COVID-19 pandemic and the death of his father. David lives with his boyfriend Hugh and they divide their time between New York and West Sussex. David is a committed litter-picker which prompted his local Sussex council to name a refuse vehicle after him - Pig Pen Sedaris.

If you appreciate this work, consider supporting it - https://www.patreon.com/seekgodtogether Today we will wrap up our time in Psalm 103 by reading verses 20-22. “Praise the LORD, all His angels of great strength, who do His word, obedient to His command. Praise the LORD, all His armies, His servants who do His will. Praise the LORD, all HIs works in all the places where He rules. My soul, praise Yahweh!” Psalm 103 hits it all. God is a forgiving and healing God. God is a just God. We are frail, and temporary but He is solid and enduring. We are left with a choice - how do we respond to God such as He is? In short answer - we praise. But what is praise? The hebrew word is “barak” and means to bless. It's literally to say good things. To use your energy to speak well of God. To kiss God with your words. To choose to celebrate Him and let your feelings and emotions follow. They will. Do you find it difficult or strange to praise God? Does God seem just too far away to engage? Is He a non-physical essence that's easier to just contemplate? Well okay. Understood. Then why not just simply follow the pattern of David here. Let's repeat what he says and see what that does. After all we say day after day that seeking God is the risk we take. We make a choice to reach out into the void. Eventually that means actually doing it. So let's say these together. Close your eyes for a moment, say it loud or soft. It doesn't matter so long as you say it… “Praise the LORD All His angels of great strength who do His word, obedient to His command. Praise the LORD all His armies His servants who do His will. Praise the LORD, all His works in all the places where He rules. My soul, praise Yahweh!”

The Lord has a wonderful way of changing our circumstances and when His grace burst through, we should praise Him and tell others.

“Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous! For praise from the upright is beautiful. Praise the LORD with the harp; Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings. Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully with a shout of joy." Today, we will begin to look at Psalm 33. This is one of the few Psalms that does not have a title or inscription at its beginning. We are not sure who wrote it, but most Bible students would conclude that David was the writer because of its location especially next to Psalm 32. Psalms 32 and 33 are linked by their subject which is the mercy and majesty of God. Together they set Him forth as a God of infinite grace and greatness. Psalm 32 deals with God as Redeemer, and Psalm 33 with God as Creator. Psalm 33 seems to have been written in a time of national crisis. Psalm 33 reveals that the God of Heaven is the God of history, for His hand can be seen just as clearly in the way He controls the destinies of men as in the way He creates empires in space. Souls and stars alike bend ultimately to His will. I love what Spurgeon said about Psalm 33. “The praise of Jehovah is the subject of this sacred song. The righteous are exhorted to praise Him in verses 1-3. They praise Him because of the excellency of His character, in verses 4-5, and for his majesty in creation in verses 6-7. Men are bidden to fear before Jehovah because his purposes are accomplished in providence in verses 8-11.” Someone else noted that Psalm 33 is a primer for praise. It is so easy to be overcome and overwhelmed by the cares and problems of this old world and we forget and lose sight of how awesome our God is! But when we start praising the LORD and rejoicing in Him, it seems the windows of heaven open, and the blessings come down. As someone said, “When the praises go up, the blessings come down!” The first few verses of this Psalm are a call to rejoice in the LORD and praise Him. God created us to worship and praise Him and that is what all eternity will be about! Read about this in Revelation 4 and 5. Who is called to worship? Two groups of people are called to Praise the LORD. Verse 1 tells us the “righteous” or those who are godly should praise Him. And verse 8 says: “Let all the earth fear the LORD; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.” So, both the godly and the globe are called to this praise! “Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous! For praise from the upright is beautiful”. (v. 1) Why should the “righteous” praise and rejoice in the LORD? Interestingly, this verse parallels the last verse of Psalm 32:11: “Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you righteous; And shout for joy, all you upright in heart!” They both remind us that only those who are righteous by faith and obedient in their walk ("upright") can sincerely worship the Lord (Psalm 15; Gen. 15:1-6). It's a fitting and proper thing for those who have experienced the grace of God and his forgiveness (Psalm 32:1-3) to praise the Lord (Psalm 147:1). The LORD is the Creator and cares for us. He is the Lord of all and watches over us. "We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture"(Psalm 100:3). He has redeemed us, and we belong to Him. No wonder in this Psalm, the worship leader exhorted the people to rejoice, praise, play instruments, and sing to the Lord. A sinner who has been saved by God's grace ought to have no problem praising the Lord. My friend, today please let this Psalm speak to you and “prime” your heart and mouth to praise the LORD and rejoice in Him! God bless!

Spiritual Fullness in ChristColossians 2:1-231 For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body: not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.

Rev. Daniel Golden, pastor at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Parkersburg, WV, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Lutheran Service Book #352, “Let the Earth Now Praise the Lord.” This hymn by Heinrich Held helps us to rejoice in the faithfulness of God to His Word. All creation and all people should praise God for sending Christ as the help and friend of sinners. Jesus is the fulfillment of what the saints of old longed to receive. The promises made to Abraham, Zion, and Jacob have been truly kept in Christ, who is fully God and fully man. He came in peace and gentleness, and so we pray for the same mind to dwell in us now. He must be the One to beat back the attacks of the devil now and keep us in faith so that we will welcome Him joyfully on the Last Day. “The Hymns of Advent'' is a series on Sharper Iron that looks at a variety of the hymns found in the Advent section Lutheran Service Book. The season of Advent prepares us for Christ's coming. The hymns of Advent teach that this is more than getting ready for Christmas; the Word of the Lord sung in hymnody helps us to receive Christ as He comes to us now in the means of grace and when He comes again in glory on the Last Day.

This week we studied the Victory Song that Moses and the Sons of Israel sang after God crushed Pharoah and his men. Once the battle was complete, the men sang praise to God for delivering them from their enemies. Understanding what took place in chapter 15 is essential for us to understand why God asks us to praise Him and why praise should be so natural. Everyone was created in the image of God and God has designed everyone to be a worshipper of Him. When we don't praise the Lord, we will find something less worthy to devote our praise. Praise is so natural and yet we often associate it with the type or style of music rather than the Person of Christ whom we are worshipping. As we looked at Exodus 15 this week, we also recognized that one of the reasons praise may be difficult is that we are not truly saved. May the Lord bless the proclamation of His Word and may He speak directly through your heart through this timeless song. Speaker: Jeff Schwarzentraub
