Chris Tomlin - Holy Roar: Live From Church Devotional Намуна

Chris Tomlin “Praise Him Forever” Devo

“Hallelujah! Praise God from heaven, praise him from the mountaintops; Praise him, all you his angels, praise him, all you his warriors, Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, you morning stars; Praise him, high heaven, praise him, heavenly rain clouds; Praise, oh let them praise the name of God—he spoke the word, and there they were! He set them in place from all time to eternity; He gave his orders, and that’s it!” Psalm 148:1-6 (MSG)

Every morning when we wake up, creation is singing a song; the one that was started when the world began as God breathed life across all of eternity. The creation of flowers, mountains, birds, waves- even people- sings a melody, praising God for life and the abundance of love we feel from Him.

The song of creation serves as a daily reminder of so many things. First, creation reminds us that our God is creative. From the color of the sky, to the specific color of our eyes, He is the ultimate Artist. He paints with a wide variety of vibrant tones and textures. Yellow moon. Blue sky. Green grass. Rainbow sunsets. Our world is a kaleidoscope of colors. Second, creation reminds us that God is sovereign. He has authority over every living thing—from the birds of the air and the flowers of the field to you and me. He keeps everything in its place, from the Milky Way to the rising tides and our beating hearts. They all start and stop at His hand. Third, creation reminds us that God is a proponent of beauty and truth. He intends for us to enjoy and maintain the loveliness of His creation. Finally, creation reminds us that we exist for the sole purpose of glorifying God. Luke 19:40 says that even if we don’t worship our Creator, the rocks will cry out in praise.

Just like the rocks that form the foundation of the earth, we were created to praise our Creator for all eternity.

Praise Him you beating hearts

Sing for the life He’s given

Praise Him you rescued ones

Join in the sound of Heaven
