Then the Levites --- Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabeneiah,
Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethathiah---
said, Stand up and bless the Lord your God
from everlasting to everlasting. Bless be Your glorious name
which is exalted above all blessing and praise.
Nehemiah 9:5 Amp
Reading these words... I can't help but think... of all the opportunities we have these days... to stand up and bless the Lord our God...
In so many places He is minimized... or omitted altogether...
His character defamed... His Word dismissed...
His salvation... mixed with all sorts of pagan religions...
Stand up... and bless... the Lord your God...
Stand up for your God...
glorify Him with praise... when others denigrate...
validate His Word... His character... through faithful obedience...
share the gospel of Jesus... the only Way...
and bless the Lord your God...
Don't miss an opportunity... to bless Him...
when He has blessed you beyond measure...
when He has blessed you beyond measure...
