My high school youth group regularly sang the Chris Tomlin song "Famous One." As I sang out loud that God is "the famous one," I would silently ponder what a curious way this was to describe God. When I think about who I consider famous, I think of celebrities -- people who cannot go to the grocery store without having strangers walk up to them and ask for a selfie or an autograph. Most famous people have a recognizable face and a well-known list of accomplishments. Bill Gates founded Microsoft. Albert Einstein developed the theory of relativity. Oprah hosted a talk show and has a media empire.

Today's psalm agrees with Chris Tomlin's title for God: "the famous one." God is said to have "gained renown through wonderful deeds." The psalm includes a rehearsal of things for which God is known. Things like keeping the covenant with Israel and providing food to those who fear God.

This leads me to wonder, What works do I recognize as God's? Where today have I recognized God -- the famous one? Where today might I see God working?
