Lord, You have made us – to praise You. You call us to live for Your
glory. Praise to God, glory to God – Where does this come from? We look
into our hearts – and it is not there. We look at our lives – and we
say, “Where is this praise to God?, Where is this glory to God?” Lord,
we can only praise You when You give to us the song of praise. You alone
can fill our hearts with praise to You. You alone can fill our lives
with Your glory. Without You, Lord, our life is a spiritual wasteland.
Come, O Lord, to this spiritual wasteland. Come – and make our life a
song of praise to You. Come – and make our life a hymn that says, “Glory
to God.”
You call us, Lord, to return to You. You promise to welcome us (2 Chronicles 30:9). Where does our returning come from? Where does our rejoicing come from? They both come from You. You put it into our hearts - to return to You (2 Chronicles 30:12). What joy there is for us when we return to You - "The good Lord pardons every one who sets his heart to seek God" (2 Chronicles 30:18-19).
