“The Lord shall reign forever – Your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the Lord!” – Psalm 146:10

The rest of this Year of God-glorifying Impact, we shall passionately GLORIFY the EVER-REIGNING KING: “The Lord shall reign forever – Your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the Lord!” (Psa.146:10). To glorify the Lord, our God, is to adore, celebrate, eulogise, and extol Him, not only in words, but by living in recognition of His greatness, worth, and honour in attitudes and actions. Glorifying God involves worshipping Him and expressing profound reverence for His Character, Power, and Love. These could be done through “psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody” to the Lord (Eph.5:19).

The psalmist consistently declared the Greatness of God, and expressed admiration for His Works and Wonders. The Lord Jesus – the King of Glory – is worthy to be ascribed all Glory and Honour. Indeed, eternity is insufficient to celebrate His Glory! Our devotional text begins and ends with the exhortation: “Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul! …. Praise the Lord!”

When we take time to truly reflect in this unique season, we’ll need no goading to glorify God in Praises. At the dawn of the year, we received Life-transforming Words on God-glorifying Impact; Insight for Impact; Divine Intimacy for Impact; Ingredients, Drivers, and Power for Impact; Bible Models of Impact; Lifestyles and Skills for Impact; Impact by the Book and books; Personal and Professional Impact; Family, Parental, Ministry and Leadership Impact. Now is the Season to glorify the God of Impact!

Beloved, I have made the quality choice to adore, celebrate, and glorify the King of Glory, Who has been, is, and ever more shall be: the King Who reigns forever (v.10). My soul is obeying a sure mandate to praise Him: “Praise the LORD, O my soul” (v.1). His Praise is the chief purpose for my living and being: “While I live I will praise the LORD…” (v.2).  My Help and Hope are in the Lord, not in temporal man (vv.3-5). I will celebrate my Grand Creator, eternal Keeper of Truth, righteous Judge for the oppressed, Helper of the hungry, and Deliverer of the captives (vv.6-7). I will glorify the Healer of the blind, Lifter of the bowed, Lover of the just, Preserver of the helpless, Reliever of the fatherless and widow, and Waster of the wicked (vv.8-9).

Beloved, please join me on the Path of Praise! Let’s celebrate the Manifold Majestic Splendour of our Ever-reigning King – His Righteousness, Amazing Grace, Peerless Holiness, Matchless Wisdom, Redeeming Power, and Majestic Presence. From the depth of our being and with all of our heart, let’s extol the King of kings, Lord of lords, Prince of Peace, Lord of hosts, the Eternal Word, Lamb of God, Saviour and Redeemer, Lion of the Tribe of Judah, our Good, Chief, and Great Shepherd. Alleluia!
