Proclamation:
“Give unto The Lord the glory due unto His
name; worship The Lord in the beauty of holiness.” Psalm 29:2 (KJV)
Explanation:
These words were written under the
influence of The Holy Spirit of God by King David after the tabernacle for the
arc of the covenant was completed. (2 Samuel 6:17-18) David exhorted the people of God to give The
Lord the praise, honor, glory, and worship that He deserved. In this hymn of praise David presents the
awesome power of God as the basis for giving Him praise. When The Lord God speaks, things happen. (Psalm
29:3-9)
Application:
There are multiple ways to praise The Lord
and as believers, we should praise Him in more than one way on multiple
occasions during each day. How you
praise The Lord is a personal matter between you and God. However, given all of the things that He has
done, there should be no question regarding the praise and worship that He is
due. When we consider the act of
creating something out of nothing, the control of the forces of nature, the creation
and control of every living thing, plant, animal, and human, we ought to praise
Him for the splendor and awesomeness of His holiness and power.
