Worthy of Praise

“Sing, O heavens, be joyful O earth! Break out in singing, O mountains.” Isaiah 49:13

What if we could hear nature singing? In the great hymn, “This Is My Father’s World” we have this line: “all nature sings and round me rings the music of the spheres.” In Job it speaks of the morning stars singing together. In the psalms it tells us that the sun and moon, the mountains and hills, the trees, cattle, and flying fowl will together praise the Lord. If nature sings His praise, shouldn’t we be singing it as well?

Many people become “Jonny one notes” and spend their life lamenting, “Woe is me.” The great hymnist, William Cowper, who suffered greatly from depression and four times tried to commit suicide says in one of his hymns, “When this poor lisping stammering tongue lies silent in the grave, then in a nobler sweeter song I’ll sing thy power to save.” If all nature sings and even people who suffer from severe depression can sing God’s praise, shouldn’t we all?

Dear Father, Let us all delight in singing the praises of our loving God. Amen.
