7…Singing His Praises

Good morning! Since yesterday was a rainy day, I spent some down time looking through pictures on my computer and I camped out in the folder from one of our excursions to Amidon State Park. It’s located near Fredericktown, Missouri. It was only about a 45-minute drive for us and the drive itself was always pretty. It is one of those hidden treasures and most times we were the only ones there.

Alan and I loved going there to climb on the pink granite rocks and listen to the water rush over them. It’s a very relaxing place to go for a couple of hours. As I was thanking God for this beautiful area He gave us to go to, I was reminded of the verses in Luke that talked about if we didn’t sing praises to God, the rocks would.

Luke 19:37-40 says:

And as He was now approaching near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the miracles which they had seen, saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” And some of the Pharisees in the multitude said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples.” And He answered, “I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out.”

Isn’t that cool? Even if we were silent, the rocks would sing out God’s praises. The Lord is definitely worthy of our praises every day. So, here’s to joyfully singing His praises and letting the rocks remain silent.
