1 Chronicles 29:10-13, “Then David blessed the LORD in the presence of all the assembly; David said: “Blessed are you, O LORD, the God of our ancestor Israel, forever and ever. Yours, O LORD, are the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty; for all that is in the heavens and on the earth is yours; yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and you are exalted as head above all. Riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all. In your hand are power and might; and it is in your hand to make great and to give strength to all. And now, our God, we give thanks to you and praise your glorious name.”
David praised God and blessed God. When he did so he recognized for the people and for himself what God had done, was doing and would do in the future. So awed was he by God and so thankful were the people of Israel that their praise rang long after their voices were silent. Those who heard marveled at the joy, thanksgiving and praise that were raised in a grateful people’s heart and worship.
When was the last time you raised thanks and praise to God such that your voice when joined with others in praise rang out as though it would last the ages? When did we praise and thank God so powerfully, so emotionally and so completely? Perhaps it’s time we did.
Prayer: Father we come humbly before You for being so quiet among peoples that you might barely hear us. Thank You for loving us – for giving us eternal life and for redeeming us. We praise and glorify Your Holy Name now and through the ages. In Jesus’ Name we pray. AMEN!!
