All of Creation has a duty
Greetings friends, in today’s reflection we will look at a call to worship and it’s significance to all of creation. From the very Genesis God created all things on the earth for His pleasure and that pleasure is generated from the praise of all he created. Genesis 1:318
It would be remiss of anyone to think himself more highly than he ought, likewise, if one neglects to give honor where it is due; then therein lies a grave error for whilst the created reflects the creator it must never be thought that what is created is superior or even more amplified than its maker.
In today’s watchword, Psalm 148:3,5 “Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all you shining stars! For he commanded, and they were created.” The psalmist calls for worship, reverence, for honor to be given to Jehovah. In the entire chapter of Psalm 148 all of creation is called upon to give praise to the creator. Nothing and no one is left out.
The sun, moon and stars and all majestic wonders yet none of them can compare to the awesomeness of their creator -God. Brothers and sisters, daily we face tests and trials or probably experience very good periods of peace and quiet but how much of our days, how much of our time is dedicated or set aside for praise?
We set aside time to meet with friends and communicate with loved ones near and far; yet much of the time we ought to spend simply offering praise and just giving thanks to God gets taken up by the things of the world that seemingly consume all our time, energy and effort.
Where ever you find yourself today, just begin to praise the Lord, open your mouth, lift your hands, stomp your feet! Whatever it is that you do, however it is that you are led to praise, may the Lord inhabit your praise and may the flame never be put out.
Revelation 4:11 You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and we’re created.
Until next week, keep praising the Lord!
Amen
