David's Doxology
A doxology is an expression of praise to the Lord, rejoicing in His glory. I remember growing up at Peachcrest Baptist Church and singing the Doxology every Sunday in our worship service. Before David died, he prepared everything for the Temple, which his son, Solomon, would build, and he set up Solomon as king. At that time he gave a wonderful doxology for the people and for us today. (I Chronicles 29:11) Let's consider how David had learned to praise the Lord.
He began his statement of praise by addressing God as the Lord. Then, he extolled the virtues of His character and power. He praised Him for His greatness, power, glory, victory, and majesty. He acknowledged that everything in the heavens and in the earth belonged to God, as He was the Creator and Sustainer of it all. Then, He recognized that the Lord had the dominion over all things and all people, over which He had exalted Himself. What a great and glorious God we serve. Surely, we should praise Him every day, and many times each day. He is worthy of all praise!
Tomorrow, I intend to read II Chronicles 2-4.
