Sing To The LORD,

Bless His Name

 

 

O sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth. Sing to the LORD, bless his name; 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; he is to be revered above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the LORD made the heavens. Honor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

 

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 into his courts. Worship the LORD in holy splendor; tremble before him, all the earth.

 

Say among the nations, “The LORD is king! The world is firmly established; it shall never be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity.” Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and all that fills it; let the field exult, and everything in it. Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy before the LORD; for he is coming, for he is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with his truth.

 

Psalm 96:1-13

 

Tiger Woods has won a dramatic number of golf tournament victories in his career. But one of his greatest achievements went almost unnoticed because it unfolded slowly over a seven year period of time. During that timeframe Woods qualified in 142 consecutive tournaments, more than any other player in the history of U.S. professional golf.

 

We can do the same for the LORD. We can follow Him in our daily devotions. You can be consistent. You can be dependable for God. There are great spiritual events in each of our lives, but our daily choices to obey Christ can best express our ongoing love for Him.

 

When we are consistently devoted to the LORD, we will proclaim His love and power day after day. Over time, a life of daily loyalty will become a magnificent testimony to our Savior.

 

 

To be a disciple

 is to be a loyal subject

 of the King of kings.
