Psalms 75:1-76:12
“We give
thanks to You, O God … I will rejoice for ever, I will sing praises to
the God of Jacob. Make your vows to the Lord your God, and perform them”
(Psalm 785:1,9; Psalm 76:11). Teach us, Lord, that true rejoicing in
You is more than singing praise to You. Teach us to live what we sing.
“Fill Thou our life, O Lord our God, in every part with praise.” “Take
my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee.” Such words are not
to be forgotten as soon as we leave the place of worship. They’re more
than words for singing. They’re words for living. How, Lord, can we live
a life of praise and consecration? – “I can do all things through
Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13).
