We should not hesitate to give God a standing ovation! We should be on our feet, lifting our hearts and our voices to Him in praise. Psalm 150 clearly tells us that He deserves all the credit. Creation cannot help praising the Creator. Jesus said that is people didn't praise God, the rocks themselves would cry out to God!! Imagine the rocks doing what He wants us to do!! How often have you heard, "so easy a monkey could do it?". Yeah, well….rocks!! Praise God!! We can spend hours in worship of our Lord, but if praise comes from an insincere heart, our efforts are wasted. God listens attentively, His head resting in His hands, peering into our hearts. He isn't impressed if our lips move without our hearts moving as well. Worship isn't a duty. Worship is a privilege, an act of obedience, an urge to satisfy a heart that longs to praise God. God is the focus, the reason, and the joy of our worship. No matter what problems you're facing, don't let them drag you down or distract you from your focus. Because of His work on the cross, for that reason alone, He deserves an unending stream of praise from our lips forever! And if we won't do it…just look at the ground and listen to a rock! May the Lord bless and keep you,May He make His face to shine upon you. May He lift His countenance upon you, and give you His peace. Now and forevermore.
In Christ,
Rick
