God is most worthy of > praise, and every Christian, as the recipient of His grace, has been given > both the wonderful opportunity and the obligation to praise God daily. > Although we have no set of rules governing daily praise and we have no > commandment prescribing certain hours to sing or give thanks, the law > written on our hearts teaches us that it is right to praise God. The > unwritten urgency comes to us with as much force as if it had been > recorded on tablets of stone, or handed to us from the top of thundering > Sinai. > : > : Yes, it is the Christian's duty to praise God. It is not only a > pleasurable exercise, but it is the absolute obligation of our lives. > Don't think that because you're going through difficult circumstances that > you are free to avoid your duty to your gracious God by choosing not to > sing songs of praise. You are bound by His love to bless His name as long > as you live, and His praise should continually be on your lips. > : > : You are blessed in order that you may bless Him. "The people I formed > for myself," God declares, so that "they may proclaim my praise." (Isaiah > 43:21) If you do not praise God, you are not bringing forth the fruit > which God rightly expects from your hands. > : > : So don't let your harp just hang on the wall, but take it down, and make > music with a grateful heart. Stand up and chant His praise. With every > morning's dawn, lift up your prayers of thanksgiving, and let every > setting sun be followed with your song. Overflow with praise! Surround the > Earth with an atmosphere of melody, and God Himself will hear from heaven > and gladly accept your song. > : > : "Even so I love Thee, and will love, And in Thy praise will sing, > Because Thou art my loving God, And my redeeming King."
