Let us PRAISE HIM ALWAYS, in more than word, and more than thought, but in every way! Let us HONOUR HIM for ALL HE IS, and ALL HE DOES, and ALL HE GIVES unto us! May we EVER be strong enough to place HIM first, and foremost, THAT HE, IN HIS LOVE, and WILL, might guide, and direct us! May we NOT be shaken, or taken by means of the world, and it's ways, and may we deliberately plant IN HIM, FOR HIS GLORY, and the eternal good of souls! THERE IS ONE LORD *GOD* ALMIGHTY, and NOTHING can alter this TRUTH, though many might be affected by the world's denial of HIM, the FAITHFUL CAN REMAIN IN HIM, no matter what!!!
We WERE CREATED TO PRAISE, and WORSHIP HIM, and in that, to exist in HOPE, PEACE, and JOY FOREVERMORE, with NO negatives, or evil, or contrast to bother us again! Amazing that so many actually believe that this time is all about themselves, and the carnal, DESPITE the knowledge that it is NOT! In this HOLY season, we OUGHT to stop, think, and take to heart THE very GIFT which *GOD* GAVE to us in CHRIST JESUS, and then, to FOLLOW HIM as HE BIDS of us! There isn't any such thing as a half-hearted follower, as then, the intention is vulnerable, and at risk; just THINK about this...
Today, there are millions upon millions decrying the reality, or truth of THE LORD *GOD*, which too many are listening to, and/or ascribing to, SO, as Christians we SHOULD be reflecting HIM, and sharing HIM; it IS FOR the sake of souls, as well as HIS GLORY! IN this, our PRAISE, and WORSHIP, and HONOUR MUST resound throughout all the chatter, the noise, the distractions, and all which IS working TO keep all from HIM! HE HAS GIVEN US LIFE, LET US GIVE HIM HIS GLORY, HIS PRAISE, and WORSHIP HIM ARIGHT in return! CHRISTmas IS a time to step INTO HIM all the more seriously, and sincerely, and to gain the mystical SPIRITUAL POWERS of HIS LOVE!!!
1+++Sing to the LORD a new song;
Sing to the LORD, all the earth.
2+++Sing to the LORD, bless His name;
Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day.
3+++Tell of His glory among the nations,
His wonderful deeds among all the peoples.
4+++For great is the LORD and greatly to be praised;
He is to be feared above all gods.
5+++For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
But the LORD made the heavens.
6+++Splendor and majesty are before Him,
Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.
7+++Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples,
Ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
8+++Ascribe to the LORD the glory of His name;
Bring an offering and come into His courts.
9+++Worship the LORD in holy attire;
Tremble before Him, all the earth.
10+++Say among the nations, “The LORD reigns;
Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved;
He will judge the peoples with equity.”
11+++Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
Let the sea roar, and all it contains;
12+++Let the field exult, and all that is in it.
Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy
13+++Before the LORD, for He is coming,
For He is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
And the peoples in His faithfulness.
When Christ finished his work on earth, and was received into his glory in heaven, the church began to sing a new song unto him, and to bless his name. His apostles and evangelists showed forth his salvation among the heathen, his wonders among all people. All the earth is here summoned to worship the Lord. We must worship him in the beauty of holiness, as God in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself. Glorious things are said of him, both as motives to praise and matter of praise.
We are to hope and pray for that time, when Christ shall reign in righteousness over all nations. He shall rule in the hearts of men, by the power of truth, and the Spirit of righteousness. His coming draws nigh; this King, this Judge standeth before the door, but he is not yet come. The Lord will accept the praises of all who seek to promote the kingdom of Christ. The sea can but roar, and how the trees of the wood can show that they rejoice we know not; but He that searches the heart knows what is the mind of the Spirit, and understands the words, the broken language of the weakest. Christ will come to judge the earth, to execute just vengeance on his enemies, and to fulfill his largest promises to his people. What then are we? Would that day be welcome to us? If this be not our case, let us now begin to prepare to meet our God, by seeking the pardon of our sins, and the renewal of our souls to holiness.
