I Will
Sing Unto the Lord
Whoso offereth praise
glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the
salvation of God. Ps. 50:23
Come to Jesus just as you are, sinful,
weak, and needy, and He will give you the water of life. You want a faith that
reaches through the hellish shadow that Satan casts athwart your pathway. He is
busily inventing amusements and fashions which will so take up men's minds that
they shall not be able to spare any time for meditation. Teach your children to
glorify God, not to please themselves. They are His children--His by creation
and by redemption. Teach them to shun the amusements and follies of this
degenerate age. Keep their minds clean and pure in the sight of God. . . .
Praise God. Let your conversation, your music, your songs all praise Him who
has done so much for us. Praise God here, and then you will be fitted to join
the heavenly choir when you enter the city of God. Then you can cast your
glittering crowns at the feet of Jesus, take your golden harps, and fill all
heaven with melody. We shall praise Him with an immortal tongue.
As our Redeemer leads us to the threshold
of the Infinite, flushed with the glory of God, we may catch the themes of
praise and thanksgiving from the heavenly choir round about the throne; and as
the echo of the angels' song is awakened in our earthly homes, hearts will be
drawn closer to the heavenly singers. Heaven's communion begins on earth. We
learn here the keynote of its praise.
Praise the Lord; talk of His goodness;
tell of His power. Sweeten the atmosphere that surrounds your soul. . . .
Praise, with heart and soul and voice, Him who is the health of your
countenance, your Saviour, and your God.
