Like Paul who, many years later, opened his letter to the Ephesians with an uncontrolled explosion of praise, the Psalmist shouts out -

The Psalmist’s exhileration at the knowledge of the glory of God displayed in his mighty and beautiful works explodes beyond his own ability to adequately express. Indeed, beyond the ability of his family and friends; even beyond the ability of his whole nation to adequately express – his only hope is to shout out to all the earth so that when all the voices of the earth have joined together to sing, ‘Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, the whole earth is full of your glory!’ this might come close to adequately giving expression to the wonder of it all.

As you turn your attention to gathering together to worship with those who have been made alive and washed clean by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, consider the awesome deeds of your Father God.

Then ‘come and see what God has done.’ Come, and bear witness – to one another and a world in desperate need to know – to the marvelous things our God continues to do by his risen and reigning Son, Jesus, our living King.
