Good Morning Friends,
The old motto of Great Britain was, “The sun
never sets on the British Empire.” That’s no longer true. As with all human empires, it has diminished
through the years. It’s difficult,
probably impossible, to sustain a human government, or human organization of
any kind, indefinitely.
But the kingdom of God is not a human organization!
The Psalmist wrote, “Praise the LORD. Praise, O servants of the LORD, praise the
name of the LORD. Let the name of the
LORD be praised, both now and forevermore.
From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the
LORD is to be praised. The LORD is
exalted over all the nations, his glory above the heavens.” (Psalm 113:1-4)
The Lord has been praised since eternity
before the beginning of time. The Lord
is praised in the present. The Lord will
be praised eternally past the end of time.
The Lord is praised from one end of the earth
to the other. He is praised from where
the sun rises to where it sets. He is
praised from east to west and from north to south. Go to South Africa and you will find His praise
there. God to northernmost place where
people live and you will find His praise there.
Name the nation and you will find the praise of the Lord there. In some places His praise must be carried out
in secret, but in most places His praise is proclaimed openly. In all of them, He is praised!
And more, His praise isn’t confined to the
earth. His praise is found in the
heavens, even among beings that are not human!
When you praise the Lord, you join men and
women of all ages, men and women of all cultures, men and women of all
nations. You join angels and all of
creation.
Praise the Lord!
His, by Grace,
Steve
