Most
Worthy Of Praise
Sing
to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth. Sing to the Lord,
praise his name;
proclaim
his salvation day after day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous
deeds among all peoples.
For
great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the Lord made the heavens. Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and
glory are in his sanctuary.
Ascribe
to the Lord, all you families of nations, 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 the
splendor of his holiness; tremble before him, all the earth. Say among the
nations, “The Lord reigns.” The world is firmly established, it cannot be
moved; he will judge the peoples with equity.
Let
the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let the sea resound, and all that
is in it. Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them; let all the trees
of the forest sing for joy. Let all creation rejoice before the Lord, for he
comes, he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and
the peoples in his faithfulness.
Psalm 96: 1-13
What
would happen if the world just erupted in praise of God at a local shopping
mall? Think of intentionally interjecting God’s grace into a situation where
some undeserving soul needs a second chanced; of sharing the love of Christ
with someone who is needy; of being the hands of Jesus that lift up a weary
friend; or of bringing peace to a confusing and chaotic situation.
Surprise your world with the wonders of Christ
shining through you.
