LET EVERYTHING THAT HAS BREATH PRAISE THE LORD!
-This scripture ( Psalm 150:6 ), like many others in the Bible, speaks of the whole creation praising and worshiping God
its Creator. It points to a reconciliation and restoration of all things. Here is a quote from Gregory of Nyssa on this very
topic … “Such is the meaning of this final Psalm, in which after the complete abolition of sin, praise shall be
sung to God; which praise contain ( implies ) our being incapable of turning to sin, when every created being shall be harmonized
into one choir, and when, like a cymbal, the reasonable creation, and that which is now severed by sin, shall pour forth a
pleasing strain, due to mutual harmony. Then comes the praise of every spirit forever, abounding with increase unto eternity.”
-WOW!-
-What an incredible statement! What an insight this man had into the purpose and plan of God! Let us catch the fire of
his zeal and love for the whole creation! We must understand that God is interested in nothing less THAN THE DELIVERANCE OF
THE ENTIRE CREATION. THIS WILL INCLUDE EVERY PERSON WHO HAS EVER LIVED OR WILL EVER LIVE. ALL SHALL PRAISE GOD!
-Another scripture which testifies to this grand truth is Revelation 5:13, which states, … And every creature which
is in heaven, and on the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honor,
and glory, and power, be unto Him that sits upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever ( unto the ages of the ages
) …
-ALL SHALL PRAISE HIS NAME!-
