Shout With Joy

Psalm 66:1-5 (NIV)
1 Shout with joy to God, all the earth!
2 Sing the glory of his name; make his praise glorious!
3 Say to God, "How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies cringe before you.
4 All the earth bows down to you; they sing praise to you, they sing praise to your name." Selah
5 Come and see what God has done, how awesome his works in man's behalf!

There is a reason to shout with joy for God has done a most wonderful thing for you and me.  Anything else that brings us joy here on earth should pale in comparison to the joy that results in the gift of forgiveness and life He has accomplished.  If one truly considers what He has done, singing His praises with joy cannot be helped.  There is no greater gift.  There is no greater love. 

We read in His Word what He has done.  We can see something different in the lives of some of those around us.  We feel His presence. We see the work of His hands.  

Join in the song of praise, all the earth!  Come and see what God has done!
