Praise the Lord, call upon His name,
declare His deeds among the peoples,
make them remember that His name is exalted.
Sing to the Lord, for He has done excellent things;
let this be known in all the earth.
Cry out and shout for joy, O inhabitant of Zion.
For great is the Holy One of Israel in your midst.
Isaiah 12:4-6declare His deeds among the peoples,
make them remember that His name is exalted.
Sing to the Lord, for He has done excellent things;
let this be known in all the earth.
Cry out and shout for joy, O inhabitant of Zion.
For great is the Holy One of Israel in your midst.
Observation: Isaiah provides a great worship song that declares the praise of Yahweh, his deeds, his love, his creation, and his faithfulness.
Application: This morning, sunrise was awesome. I commented aloud, alone in my car, that the Cascades - bathed in golden light, yet obscured by morning mist rising from the local valley farms and forests - were like the most beautiful painting. I then noted that our perception of 'beauty' is a gift and revelation of God. His creation is even our standard of beauty and perfection ... we judge wonders based on an understanding granted to us completely through God's wonders.
God's deeds, love, creation, and faithfulness are the perfection against which we understand all other things. He is to be greatly praised for the gift of creation and life!
Prayer: Abba, father, you are greatly to be praised. May I sing to you, pray to you, speak to you, and marvel in you, every moment of every day. Amen.
