"Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion." Yes, indeed it does. Praise waits for Him. It may be Friday but Sunday is coming! And oh how eagerly we anticipate the opportunity to gather with the saints and to lift up your voices in praise, in wonder, in thanksgiving, in love and joyful song. Is He not worthy? What is the cry of every child of God?
Yes! With all our hearts, with all our being yes!! He is worthy.
Did He bleed for us? Did He suffer for us? And was this for me?? That I might appear with Him in glory?? And shall I not sing? Shall I not join with the angels and saints in their songs to Him who was slain? What a question!
There is no need to deliberate, no need to consult with kings and kingdoms. No, we know what our King deserves. And we love Him.
And so, yes, praise waits for thee O God in Zion. Your people, your remnant, are waiting to praise you. Kings and kingdoms may come against us. They may take our freedom, they may take our homes, they may even take our lives; but they cannot keep us from this! In freedom or in bonds, in life or in death, we will sing the praises of our Redeemer - for He is worthy!
The man who keeps his eyes upon the Lord cannot cease to worship Him, to praise Him, to do His will. Only the man who turns away his eye can cease to do all these and to justify his doings, continuing to sin...
