Scripture:
Shout joyfully to God, all the earth!
Sing about the glory of His name;
make His praise glorious.
Say to God, “How awe-inspiring are Your works!
Your enemies will cringe before You
because of Your great strength.
All the earth will worship You
and sing praise to You.
They will sing praise to Your name.” Selah
Psalm 66:1-4
Observation: Our praises to God rise from our understanding of him and his creation. They are inspired by his works! The works include ... nature and creation itself, his blessing upon our lives, his mercy and judgment against the good and the bad of the world, his mighty power and authority.
Application: Pause and reflect on all of that! Everything - nature and creation for certain, but also the results of daily life and outcomes of life events - reflect the glory of God. They are all worthy of celebration, as God is worthy of all praise and worship. In these things, God inspires us to action, worship, love, and hope.
Prayer: Lord, may I worship you in all things. May I worship your creation, your power, your mercy, your love, your judgment, your authority, and your words. I seek you, and find you, in all things, all times, and all places of my life, this day and every day. Amen.
