“31May the glory of the Lord endure forever, may the Lord rejoice in his works, 32who looks on the earth and it trembles, who touches the mountains and they smoke! 33I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have being. 34May my mediation be pleasing to him, for I rejoice in the Lord.” – Psalm 104:31-34 (ESV)
We are the endurance of God, and therefore we should be showing the glory of the Lord. I have seen on a number of occasions, someone standing on the street corner “preaching” to the public as they walk by, and undoubtedly we have seen them in the movies. How many of those times have there been proclamations of God’s Glory as opposed to the damning of souls for our sin?
I recall an instance about a year ago as I was driving through a significant intersection in town and noticed the pastor of one of the local churches standing holding a sign. My thought was, here we go again. But no, the sign read simply, “God Loves You!” What a refreshing declaration for those driving by. No expectation of preaching. No shouting about our sin. Just simple proclamation of God’s Love.
This is the endurance we are and should be a part of. Not the turning away of those in need with our words of damnation. We are to “rejoice in the Lord” and what better way to do that than to say it aloud to those we come in contact with.
When you think of declaring God, are you declaring damnation or love? When was the last time you proclaimed the Glory of God to your neighbors? Are we looking to spread the word of the enduring Glory of God?
