This morning I was sitting in the final session of Oasis (a program for highschoolers at MACU) and the speakers message was ending with the fact that the angels in heaven are forever praising God with everything they have. I can't fathom it, it's so beyond my comprehension. However the speaker was reading a passage in Revelation where it describes the angels praising God and the words they said. He then asked us to join with the angels and say exactly what they say in Revelation and to this day.
So he read a part of it aloud and pointed at us to repeat. The congregation gave a very tired reply, and the speaker expected it. He EXPECTED it. I mean the angels who are praising the REAL God are saying these words with all of their might yet we on this earth can't do the same for fear of judgement by others. How shallow? How fearful? I felt ashamed at myself for it, why should we be afraid to praise God in our own unique way? He loves our praise, He loves when we love Him, why be so fearful?
Then when we sing praise songs and I look around briefly, I see people just standing there. No expression on their faces except boredom. What's more exciting than being free enough to praise our God everyday? It's a blessing, and at every chance I will praise my God with everything. I'm tired of letting others control how I praise, I'm tired of people feeling as if they don't need to praise. I feel it in my soul everyday. Praise be to my God on high! One day I'll be among those who sing praise eternally! How crazy cool is that!
Peace
