Day 30

Praise as created to do…

I will sing a new song to You, O God;

Upon a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You… – Psalm 144:9

Have you noticed the birds singing their hearts out each morning? Songs burst forth from them instinctively each morning as the sun rises, regardless of the storms in the night. They cannot help themselves but to sing praises to their Creator. It’s how they were created.

We don’t have to be in church on Sunday to sing praises to God. Our praise doesn’t even have to sound like lyrical, musical notes. Our praises can come in the form of glorifying His name among our coworkers, encouragement in the Lord to a friend during a tough time, or the fruit of the Spirit exhibited in our actions and attitudes. We may not have an actual harp, like King David, but we have our body with which to sing praises, literally and figuratively. We, like the birds, were created with a purpose, to glorify God (Isaiah43:7).

Let every created thing give praise to the LORD, for he issued his command, and they came into being- Psalm 148:5
