Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let the sea resound, and all that is in it. Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them; let all the trees of the forest sing for joy. Let all creation rejoice before the Lord, for he comes, he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in his faithfulness. Psalm 96:11-13There is no one like Jesus…there is no one like our Jehovah.  All creation rejoices and praises the Father and the Son.  How can we do any less?  God is Good! is not just a song or a oft repeated phrase, it is Truth.  God is Light.  God is faithful.  God is just.  God is with us.  God is in control.  May we sing, “I love You Lord, and I lift my voice to worship You, oh, my soul, rejoice.  Take joy, my Lord, in what You hear;  Let it be a sweet, sweet sound in your ear. “Have you ever felt as if praises and songs will never stop in your life and heart and you have to sing?  The praises and love is so real and so precious that our song never ends.  James 1:2-4, Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.Why praise God?  The 5th verse of Psalm 96 tells me all I need to know. Read the last line of this Journal-Snippet….and sing your song of praise to our Lord.  He is beside you, waiting to take you and me into His arms.  Oh, how I love Jesus, Oh, how I love Jesus, Oh, how I love Jesus, because He first loved me!Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth.Sing to the Lord, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day.Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods. Psalm 96:1-5
