"Let every created thing give PRAISE TO THE LORD. God issued His command and they came into being."
God created everything in the Universe. That includes the heavens, stars, moon and earth, and all living things, including man. God's handiwork is how you can identify His nature. That is why in this One Truth Today we learn that every created thing gives PRAISE TO THE LORD! What and who should give praise to the Lord? Believer's are not the only ones who should give praise to the Lord. In reality everything that God created should give PRAISE TO THE LORD! Inanimate objects and all creatures when seen for their beauty give the Lord praise. They demonstrate their praise without saying a word! The splendor and glory of the heavens speak volumes about and give praise to the Lord. As humans we are things created by God and this scripture tells us about His command and our duty to give PRAISE TO THE LORD!
We may not always be aware that we are not the only things that give praise to the Lord. The Psalms tell us that the Glory of the Lord is revealed in the skies and the heavens that God created. The Angels and heavenly hosts act as the choir to PRAISE THE LORD! Our earth with its rain, lightning, clouds and thunder give praise to the Lord. Because the Lord issued His command and set all things in place, the entire universe will give PRAISE TO THE LORD! Praise emanates from the ocean and the earth and all of its creatures. Men and women of all the ages have learned to praise the Lord. Rulers and kings of the earth have learned to praise the Lord. In short, with the exception of the non believer's throughout the ages, all men have a common response to God and that is to PRAISE THE LORD!
If you have chosen not to PRAISE THE LORD, then you have purposely separated yourself from the creator of the Universe and yourself. Be prepared to hear the words, "depart from me for I never knew you", at the time of judgement. Your choice and your consequence. Believer's have lifted up the Lord and given Him the worship and praise that He deserves. We understand that He alone is the source of our prosperity and life itself. It is the Lord who puts a song in our hearts and gives peace to our soul. That is why those of us who know Him exalt His name forever. He deserves all the glory and honor and it is our desire to thank and worship Him. It is a natural response to God's love for us, to love Him. What is the Lord's desire? That every created thing give PRAISE TO THE LORD!
