The Lord's Name is to Be Praised
by Joe R. Price

"From the rising of the sun to its going down the LORD'S NAME IS TO BE PRAISED" (Psalm 113:3).

As the days grow shorter, moving from autumn to winter, we are reminded that God set the seasons in place for our good (Gen. 1:14; 8:22). God ordained the sun's daily circuit, and it declares his glory (Ps. 19:1-4). 

Praise God today for his power; Power that keeps the sun in its place and that gives us both summer and winter. The winter rest will eventually give way to spring's renewal and summer's growing season. And so it goes - just as God planned.

Like the days that draw toward winter, our lives are drawing ever shorter. Do not forget God. He gave you life; praise him for it! Eventually, you will stand before God and answer to him for how you used the life he gave you (2 Cor. 5:10). He has appointed a day of judgment for us all (Heb. 9:27; Acts 17:30-31).

God is worthy to be praised. Today and every day; praise his great name!
