Sing And Declare God's Deeds

Our Father in heaven, who are You, that You hold Your blessed, tender, loving scepter directly downwards to us, in our utterly lowly state and literally raise us up to join in worship to You and of You?

On this Lord’s Day Sunday, Holy Father, Sovereign Lord, Your word to us comes like a gloriously glowing sceptre of invitation and welcome into Your Holy Presence. We feel somewhat like Esther, when King Xerxes held out his royal sceptre to his own dear one, giving her pardon, permission, and power to enter into his presence and speak.

Sovereign Father and God, we are Your children and today, in our totally sought after life, sought after by all that would drown us, choke us, trap us and tempt us to deny Your grace and goodness to us, You have lifted us up.

You have lifted us up in mind, body, soul and spirit.

You have lifted us up in strengthened faith and trust in You.

You have lifted us up in heart and desire to worship You in true, genuine spirit and unpretentious truth.

You have invited us to not just enter Your Precious Presence, but You have invited us, given us, unhindered and unlimited freedom to sing to You.

Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion! Declare His deeds among the people. Psalm 9: 11

Holy Father, Ruler over all, when I think of who You are and who I am, and that I am able to come into Your Presence, You who dwell in the Holy Place, the Holy City, to worship You, that alone is praise. Believer, how is it with you?

That a lame man, unable to walk from birth, can now walk with Peter and John into the place of worship, and sing praise to You and You alone, is truly miraculous. It is a life that, without even a word spoken from the lips, sings praises to You and declares Your mighty deeds. I see my life in this moment, in similar light. How about you?

If a battered, beaten down, lost and dying child of Yours, can be raised in heart and mind, to walk with Your Holy Spirit, to Your Holy Place of worship, it must be, like the lame man now walking, a life that sings praises to You. Where is your life? Where are you?

Let all our lifted lives sing praises to You Lord. O yes! Our lives need no backups for by themselves, they declare, most convincingly and conqueringly that You, O Sovereign Father, have brought us out of the bondage in which we were living.

Jesus, the deep depression, the dark despair, the demonic deception and the deadly discouragement that encompassed so many of us, You conquered them all, giving freedom to our uplifted lives.

Look at me now, is the melody of my life.

God has done a mighty deed, God is doing a mightier deed, God will do His mightiest deeds, are the lyrics of my life.

Holy Sovereign Father, may each life and each lip declare all that You have done and are doing even now for all, far and near to hear. Amen!

We will continue in this strain of praise singing and works declaring.

Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion! Declare His deeds among the people.
