Praise

When he [Jesus] came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen: "Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!" Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples!" "I tell you," he replied, "if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out." (Luke 19:37-40)

 

All of nature knows that Jesus is worthy to be praised. Even the rocks have sense enough to know that! We humans are made in the very image of God. We are His creation. We have an intrinsic desire to worship our Creator. Some of us resist. Some of us are “hit and miss” with our praise. Some of us are sold out “praisers”. No matter where we land on this matter, the fact is that we are made to praise Him and He’s worthy!
