"Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth;
sing the glory of his name;
give to him glorious praise."
Psalm 66:1
This past Sunday I attended yet a different church in search of a place and people that I could lift my voice alongside of in praise. Thankfully I found one that had energy and what I sensed was a genuine response of praise to God. It was good for my soul.
When the psalmist says that the whole earth should make a joyful noise in giving praise to God I think it means that not just everything but everyone should join in the song. It has been tough attending places of worship where there seemed to be no sense of joy or desire to connect with God in the moment. But at the same time it has reminded me of my own need to bring joy and praise to God each day, not just on Sundays.
So I'm looking for ways to proclaim with all of creation today that God rules over all of creation from before the beginning of time until time is no more God is worthy of all our praise.
