‘Be
still, and know that I am God...Shout to God with loud songs of joy’
(Psalm 46:10; 47:2). In our worship, there is to be both quiet trust and
loud praise. We read the great words: ‘God is our refuge and strength, a
very present help in trouble’ (Psalm 46:1). God’s Word brings peace -
‘in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength’. We must not
keep God’s blessing to ourselves. We must share it with joy - ‘Sing to
the Lord...let them shout from the top of the mountains. Let them give
glory to the Lord, and declare His praise in the coastlands’ (Isaiah
30:15; 42:10-12). The Lord is to be ‘exalted among the nations’. He is
not only ‘our King’. He is ‘the King of all the earth’ (Psalm 46:10;
47:6-7). ‘Father (Jesus/Spirit), we love You. We worship and adore You.
Glorify Your Name in all the earth’(Mission Praise, 142).
God's Word is "a lamp to our feet and a light to our path." He has "wondrous things" to teach us as we pray "Open my eyes that I may see" (Psalm 119:105, 18, 11). "May God's blessing surround you each day, as you trust Him and walk in His way. May His presence within guard and keep you from sin, go in peace, go in joy, go in love." "Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to Your Name give glory, because of Your mercy and Your truth" (Psalm 115:1).
