Advent Devotional - Day 20

Praise the Lord from the heavens… Praise him, sun and moon… Praise the Lord from the earth… snow and frost… Wild animals and all cattle, creeping things and flying birds! Kings of the earth and all peoples… old and young together!  (Psalm 148) 

What are we to do each new day as God commands the sun to offer a new beginning? We praise! The plant kingdom does, the animal kingdom does, and we should, too! Praise him, praise him, all ye little children. Why? God is love. There’s no greater reason, and now, no greater season. Let praises spring from our lips, fresh as each morning, sure as each sunrise.

Lord, we must praise you. We have no choice when breathing in each new beginning. Let praise rise from deep within us and burst forth in joy. Amen.
