Is It Still There?

Psalm 66:4                                                                 Is It Still there?

“All the earth worships Thee; they sing praises to Thee; sing praises to Thy name” (RSV).

This sign was there at the Grand Canyon sixty years ago.  I wonder, is it still there?  The Scripture is still true: “All the earth worships thee; they sing praises to Thee; sing praises to They name.”  All the earth does worship the Lord.  It’s only the people who have stopped singing praises to His name.  Just look around and observe the earth still singing the praises of the Creator.  He has created fantastic beauty.  Just feet away from this sign is one of the views that people from all over the world travel thousands of miles to see—the Grand Canyon.  Okay, not all the people have stopped singing praise to Him.  There are still many millions on this earth who appreciate the beauty that God has created, and they worship and praise Him for it.

When Jesus was entering Jerusalem on what we call Palm Sunday, the people were saying in Luke 20:38, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!  Peace in heaven and glory in the highest” (NKJV).  The Pharisees told Jesus to stop the people from saying such things.  His answer, in verse 40 was,”…I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out” (NKJV).  I wonder if that would happen today.  Would the rocks cry out?  They do to me.  They speak of the glory of God in all their myriad shapes, colors, and composition.  But I am not going to wait for the rocks to cry out.  “Praise the Lord for He is good!”  Won’t you join me today and praise the Lord out loud where people can hear you?  Jesus speaks to the Father on our behalf.  We can certainly speak to the world on His behalf.  Let’s do it.  Let’s praise the Lord out loud every day.
