PUBLIC PRAISE

READ:

Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.
-Psalm 96:3

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Isaiah 28-29
Philippians 3

I love the YouTube video of people in a food court of a mall, who in the midst of their ordinary lives were suddenly interrupted by someone who stood up and boldly began singing the "Hallelujah Chorus." To the surprise of everyone, another person got up and joined the chorus, and then another, and another. Soon the food court was resounding with the celebrative harmonies of Handel's masterpiece. A local opera company had planted their singers in strategic places so that they could joyfully interject the glory of God into the everyday lives of lunching worshippers.
Everytime I watch that video, it moves me to tears. It reminds me that bringing the glory of God into the ordinary situations of our world through the beautiful harmonies of Christlikeness is exactly what we are called to do. Think of intentionally interjecting God's grace into a situation where some undeserving soul needs a second chance; of sharing the love of Christ with someone who is needy; of being the hands of Jesus that lift up a weary friend; or of bringing peace to a confusing and chaotic situation.
As the Psalmist reminds us, we have the high and holy privilege of declaring "His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples" (Psalm 96:3). - Joe Stowell
Thank You, Lord, for filling us with the capacity to take Your glory "public" through the way we act and react towards others. Give us the grace to interject the surprising beauty of Your wonderful ways into each encounter.

Surprise your world with the wonders of Christ shining through you!

NEW LIFE IN CHRIST

There is a nature that is of the Earth and there is a nature that is of Heaven. Since the fall of man, the earthly nature of man has become corrupted and therefore is greatly under the influence of the kingdom of Satan. Characteristic features of this nature are: wickedness, moral perversion - sodomy and all sorts of...More
