God lives and works today, and as an almighty, omnipotent, and loving Father, He is worthy and deserving of our praise. Today's program by Basilea Schlink is about praise, the highest calling of man. Sing with joy and worship Him, rejoice in the Lord, all ye lands, rejoice in the Lord, all ye lands.
Yes, sing, laud, and worship God. To give Him the glory is the highest calling of man. We must bring honor to Him, for He rightfully deserves our honor.
Only He is all-powerful, all-knowing, all-loving, holy, and eternal, the Lord and Creator of life. And yet, never before has God been so mocked and blasphemed as He is today, by children as well as by adults, from within the Church as well as from without. Surely the hearts of those who love Him should burn to bring Him honor and praise, in every possible way.
In other words, we who are Christians should so radiate the love and glory of God that the world will recognize Him for who He really is, the Lord great in honor, full of love. Could there be any commission more wonderful, more beautiful than to reveal to people who God is? When they behold Him, they will fall down, giving Him honor and worship, giving Him their answer of love. Now there are many ways in which we can glorify God, but of course He will receive the most glory when our entire being radiates His true nature, which is only love, and when we demonstrate in everyday life the merciful, patient, reconciling love of Jesus.
For God has called us for this very purpose, that we might reveal the kingdom of love, that each one of us might be a little ray of His heavenly light, or if only our hearts would burn with this one desire, my life must glorify God. With love and awe I venerate The plane by which You did create The world of God Almighty O earth and all the universe O all the man and beast divest You are the only sovereign Be father in my life adored O let it give You glory, Lord Above, beyond, all I know Let me Your glory radiate With joyous hymns celebrate The praise of God I make You have been listening to a program written by Basilea Schlink of the Little Land of Canaan.
