Celebrate His Presence

Celebrate His Presence

Here is another paraphrase from Leslie Brandt’s Psalms Now. It is a paraphrase of Psalm 96:

God is here; God is now!
It is a time for celebration!
Our praises need not be confined to old songs.
Nor need we great organs or massive choirs to honor His name.
Let us create new songs of praise to our God.
Let us discover new ways of proclaiming His greatness and glory.

The elements about us reflect His majesty.
The roaring sea and all that inhabits it,
   the wind bends the trees,
   the creatures that fill air and land,
   the mountains that probe our skies,
   the rivers and lakes that slake our thirst,
   the great planets and stars that light up our night,
   all these reveal God’s beauty and splendor.

And out of this comes that fashioned by man’s mind and hand:
rockets and computers, art, architecture, music, literature.

Wherever one turns, God’s power is manifested,
God’s presence is made apparent.
Let us celebrate His presence in our world today.

As you worship Him today, take some time this morning to celebrate HIM! Think about HIS splendor and glory! – Bill Welte is President and CEO of America’s Keswick
