This morning I was led to Psalm again as I study the word “praise”. I was reminded that God is bigger than any and everything else.
“5Let the heavens praise your wonders, O LORD, your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones!” — Psalm 89:5 (ESV)
The first part of verse 5 above tells it all, “Let the heavens praise…” I have to think of who else will be praising God. There are those that follow Him. There are those that celebrate, either deliverance, or success. There are those that are new converts. And there are those in verse 5 that are the greater than those of us in this world, the heavens themselves.
God is good. He is so good that even the heavens praise His wonders. Those that are with Him now. God is there as the head of all that is and that should be recognized. I have to remember that God is bigger and that “Jesus is Better” (taken from a sermon series by John Free from Curry Creek Church).
The LORD is due praise and where that may start small with me, it comes from the bigger and more prominent. Those who are with Him are praising Him also. I am here to do my part and praise Him so that others may see. I am responsible for sharing God and all of His greatness to the world so that they will have the chance to praise Him. I have to demonstrate that He is worthy of praise from everyone, and show that even the heavenly beings are praising Him, so you can to.
What approach to praising God are you taking? Are you holding back, thinking that you somehow are not worthy to praise Him? What if you recognized that if the heavens can praise Him, you certainly can?
