The Rocks Cry Out

I was at my daughter’s choir concert and noticed many of the songs performed were a praise to God. It’s interesting to me that many of the classical choir pieces are old hymns and spirituals that people of varying faiths and beliefs sing daily.

God will be praised!

Even today, around this nation many people are declaring, “Thank God it’s Friday”.

God will be praised!

The atheist, the agnostic will at some point come to the end of themselves and look towards a higher power.

God will be praised!

Let’s us join with angels this morning. Let’s silence the rocks today. Let’s declare His beauty and majesty. Let’s shout, sing, dance before the maker of the universe. Let’s sing of His faithfulness. Let’s shout He is good from the rooftops. Let’s dance because He has redeemed and restored us. God will be praised. Who better to praise Him than those who have been set free, forgiven, and given eternal life.

God will be praised!

“ Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” But some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” He answered, “I tell you, if they keep silent, the very stones will cry out!” (‭Luke‬ ‭19‬:‭38-40‬ NET)
