SCRIPTURE: Psalm 104:13 (TM)
The glory of God -
let it last forever! Let God enjoy his creation!
STORY:
J.S. Bach said, "All music should have no other end and
aim than the glory of God and the soul's refreshment; where this is not
remembered there is no real music but only a devilish hub-bub."
He headed his compositions: "J.J." "Jesus
Juva" which means "Jesus help me."
He ended them
"S.D.G." "Soli Dei gratia" which means "To God alone
the praise."
OBSERVATION:
Once there was a preacher, “Preacher John,” in Florida who
would blurt out with a very loud voice – GLORY! - and it didn’t matter where he
was or who was around him. He would explain that when he felt the Glory of God
he just had to let it out.
A religious professor from Union Theological Seminary
declared that God had running through his mind the music of J.S. Bach as he
created the world.
What is lost too often in our daily existence is the glory
of God – the music of the universe, the beauty of our world, the sheer joy and
wonder of it all. It gets buried by the living out of our days.
Maybe we need to let loose with a GLORY! every now and again.
Don’t pass up a chance to give God the praise and don’t miss out on witnessimg
the power and beauty of God … and if we are caught up with it all maybe we too will
join “Preacher John” and break forth with a GLORY when we and everyone around
us least expects it!
PRAYER:
May our voices give praise and glory to you every day … all
day long!
