Praise God!

All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah. (Psalm 66:4)
In the springtime, I love to sit outside alone in the early morning chill to sip a mug of hot coffee, read the word and bask in the sounds of nature. Each creature praises God in its own way. I especially enjoy the symphony of praise performed by all the different birds that live nearby. The orchestra often includes the loud trumpet sounds of Canada geese flying overhead, the high-pitched whistles of black-capped chickadees jostling for a place at our bird feeder, and a lone woodpecker holding down the percussion section in a tall oak tree. Each bird has its own unique sound, but together they generate a beautiful morning chorus of praise. Just like the birds, we each have our own distinctive, God-given voices with which we can praise God. Some people have the ability to praise God out loud for all to hear; some have the same gift of quietly praising God during conversations with others; some are skilled at soundlessly praising God through prayer. Like the birds, we can merge our unique voices and together share a magnificent melody of God’s praise for all the world to hear!
Dear God, help us become more aware of the many reasons for praising you. Amen.
This devotion blessed me. Give God praise, for He is worthy to be praised.
Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!
