JOIN THE CHORUS Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord from the heavens; praise him in the heights above. Praise him, all the angles; praise him all the heavenly hosts (Ps. 148:1-2). Our scripture (Psalm 148:1-14). A few years back when the New York Yankees won the World Series, New York City united together in a chorus of praise. The bakeries sold blue and gray cupcakes, the Empire State Building lit the night sky with bright blue, and the Times Square billboards flashed, We are the champs. Everywhere you went spirits were high; praise seemed to be rising from every corner of the city. Would it not be amazing to have such a reaction to Christ Jesus? In a grander way, Psalm 148 urges all creation to praise God. From every corner and crevasse of creation: sea creatures, weather, landscapes, animals both large and small, men and women, both young and old, and all the angles are called to offer praise to God. Together all of creation forms a magnificent choir--all giving praise to the Almighty. Today you may find yourself alone in your prayer closet, perhaps praying alongside family, or with a few good friends. However, as you do, be aware of the beautiful songs that are being lifted all around you in praise to the Almighty God. Regardless of how small your numbers may be, choose to join this chorus with your voice of praise today. Dear Jesus I would one of the first to admit that I miss the Glory Days of church service when it was more than common than not, to lift hands, shout praise the Lord, and break out in songs and testimonies, of praise. Being an introvert, this hard for me, the more it happens the more we can get into it. Praise the Lord! (Paraphrased, Stephen Mayes, RE--Flecting GOD 12/30/14). Shout for joy to God, all the earth! Sing the glory of his name; make his praise glorious (Psalm 66:1-20).
