| We who know the Lord are called upon to show forth His excellencies. For “ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” We are to be “always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.” Our lips then should be open to tell forth His praises. “My tongue shall speak of Thy word.” With Asaph the psalmist, let us determine that “I will remember the works of the Lord: surely I will remember Thy wonders of old. I will meditate also of all Thy work, and talk of Thy doings.” For “it is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto Thy name, O Most High: to show forth Thy loving-kindness in the morning, and Thy faithfulness every night.” “I will bless the Lord at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” |
