Well, I Declare! (part 4)

As we noted when we began this series, the “heavens DECLARE the glory of God” ( Psalm 19:1), but the rest of Creation is also involved in PRAISING Him (note Psalm 148:7-12). Since we know God, should we not also join in the DECLARATION OF PRAISE?

The Psalmist stated:
“O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will DECLARE YOUR PRAISE.”
( Psalm 51:15 NIV)

And Peter exhorted:
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may DECLARE THE PRAISES OF HIM WHO CALLED YOU OUT OF DARKNESS INTO HIS WONDERFUL LIGHT.” ( I Peter 2:9 NIV)

God has delivered us from darkness into His wonderful light with the desire for us to DECLARE HIS PRAISES. As we focus on our deliverance, what is there to stop us from such a DECLARATION?

Have a great day DECLARING PRAISES to God!
