You can click <a title=\"Louie Giglio\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7zWKm-LZWm4\" target=\"_blank\">here <\/a>to watch.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However, you may want to read Psalm 148 before you head to far reaches of the universe and the depths of the sea. Why? Because this Psalm tells us that God receives praise from everything He created. Remember what Jesus said in Luke 19:40 (NIV) after the Pharisees told Jesus to rebuke His disciples? <em>\u201cI tell you, if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Maybe one day we\u2019ll discover technology to hear the rocks praising God!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>God has created this big, beautiful world and universe and it all screams praise to Him. How are you doing in this area of your life? Are you praising God with everything in your being? Are you continually praising the Name of Jesus?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know about you, but I don\u2019t want to be outdone by whales. I want my life to be filled with praise and I never want to stop singing, <em>\u201cHoly, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.\u201d<\/em> (Revelation 4:8 \u2013 NIV)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I will never sing \u201cHow Great is Our God\u201d again without thinking of this video of stars and whales making music and praising God. Folks, I serve and praise an amazing God and I will not keep quiet!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Donna<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I saw something through Facebook that I would like to share with you today.
