SCRIPTURE: Psalm (NIV) 66:1 Shout with joy to God, all the earth!
2 Sing the glory of his name; make his praise glorious!
3 Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies cringe before you.
4 All the earth bows down to you; they sing praise to you; they sing praise to your name.” Selah
5 Come and see what God has done, how awesome his works on man’s behalf!
Revelation (NIV) 5:9 And they sang a new song: “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation.
OBSERVATION: We are instructed to “make His praise glorious!” To me that means I should be praising God truthfully, faithfully, often, loud enough for others to hear, creatively, etc.
Note: every people group and every language will be present when we make His praise glorious in heaven!!!
APPLICATION: My praise should be heard by those around me. My praise should make them take note of this wonderful God I serve. My praise should tell of the wonderful things He has done for me. I should talk of God in such a way that those around me will want to know more about Him…and want to know Him too!
My praise should highlight his “awesome works on man’s behalf!” It is true that I love Him and I serve Him, but what makes Him glorious is how He loves me and how He serves me! His love for me is greater than my love for him. How He served me is greater than how I can serve Him!
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, may my praise make you attractive to those nearby who hear my words of appreciation. Amen.
