Psalm 76

In Judah God is known;
His name is great in Israel.
2 In [b]Salem also is His tabernacle,
And His dwelling place in Zion.

Judah

If someone is visiting New Jersey and asks you what is the New jersey famous for? what do you say?

If Someone asks you what is famous or well known thing in New York, what do you say?

Paris -? eiffel tower,

In Judah , God is known.

In Some translations, it says  God is well known , God is honored.

Wow.  every place has its uniqueness in identifying itself through a landmark, or the business.

But Judah, is well known not for a land mark or a business, but in Judah, God is well known.

Blessed is the Nation whose God is the Lord.

There are four names that were mentioned here 

Why is God well know in Judah.

Judah

Genesis 43:8,9

8 Then Judah said to Israel his father, “Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go, that we may live and not die, both we and you and also our little ones. 9 I myself will be surety for him; from my hand you shall require him. If I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame forever.

A  man being surety for another,

God is well known in a land or in a man when a man is surety for his brother.

What Ruben , as a firstborn, could not do , Judah did by being surety for his brother.

Today God is looking for people like Judah who can be surety for the soul of others.

Have you ever said, I am surety for saving this soul

God is well know in Judah,, because Judah became a surety for his brothers life.

Israel - God is great in Israel

Salem - His Tabernacle in Salem

Zion  - His Dwelling place in Zion.

Israel

When a person  Identity changes from self to God , then God becomes great

Simons identity was a fisherman, he identity was very low.  But when the Lord changed his identity from simon to Peter,  God became great in his life.

A persons character is derived from his identity.

A person who identifies himself as sportsperson , all his habits will be related to sports.

A person who identifies himself as medical professional, all habits will be related to medical stuff.

A person who identifies himself as Child of God ,  God becomes great in his life.

Salem  - HIs Tabernacle is in Salem.

Abraham rescued Lot,  King of Salem , High priest of God came and brought bread and wine to Abraham

Genesis 14:18

18 Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of God Most High. 

There was complete worship service that was happening there

Melchizedek came with Bread and Wine,

Abraham rescued Lot and communion service was so great.

Abraham came with Tithes

Abraham 

Israel is Prince with God.

God changed Jacobs identity from Jacob to Israel.
