Sing
to the Lord, all the earth!
Tell
of his salvation from day to day.
Declare
his glory among the nations,
his
marvelous works among all the peoples!
For
great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised,
and
he is to be feared above all gods.
Splendor
and majesty are before him;
strength and joy are in his place.
Ascribe
to the Lord, O families of the peoples,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength!
Ascribe
to the Lord the glory due his name;
bring an offering and come before him!

Chronicles 16:23-25,29-29 (ESV)
Sing to the Lord, all the earth!
We sing hymns to
God. We also sing praise choruses as we begin our corporate worship. It might be
said that the birds sing to Him. One of my greatest memories is sitting on my
couch early on spring mornings and hearing the birds sing. I knew that the day
would be beautiful.
Tell of his salvation from day to day.
God wants us to tell others about Him and what He has
done for us. Even if we think that we don’t have a testimony to share, each of
us does.
Declare his glory among the nations,
We are not to be bashful about what He has done for us. Scripture
says we are to be ready to share His love, “in season, out of season.” Whether we
feel like it or not.
For great is the Lord, and greatly to be
praised,
We are to praise Him for the smallest things, those we
don’t think of as important.
Splendor and majesty are before him;
He makes our world beautiful. The flowers in the spring
and summer, the leaves in the fall yes, even the falling snow in the winter all
have beauty.
Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the
peoples,
God expects us to give Him praise and thanks, each of us
and those of the nations.
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
We are to give Him honor and the glory that belongs to
Him.
Yes, I love to hear the birds singing their songs of praise to their Creator every morning. They do sound happy, and it always makes me feel happy too. We have SO much to praise God for in this life. We need to take the time to just give Him praise every single day, not just on Sundays. There is ALWAYS something to praise Him for!
ReplyDeletePam: I truly enjoy hearing the birdsong. For Mother's day, Hubby bought me a birdbath. Yes, we have so much to praise God for. I find myself praising Him for central heat in the winter and air conditioners and fans in the summer. Peace and blessings.
