“Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD’s name is to be praised.” ~ Psalm 113:2-3
These stirring verses give us the big picture of worshiping God: His praise lasts forever! From the present moment to forever beyond, His name will be blessed. God receives worship for decades, centuries, millennia, and any duration thereafter. We will praise God for eternity without weariness, fatigue, or tedium.
The psalmist, however, does not leave our minds floating in the vastness of eternity. He brings us right down to the daily joy of praising God. From sunrise to sunset, each day brings us the delightful duty of praising the Lord’s name! We need not wait to praise Him; we must not denigrate this life as an inferior opportunity to praise God; we must not put off eternal praise for the future. The time between today’s sunrise and its sunset is our time to fill with praise. Eternal worship will prove glorious indeed; it begins with our daily worship.
