“Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name. And do not neglect doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.” - Hebrews 13:15-16 (NASB)
During the days of observing Christ’s birth which we call
Christmas we hear about the angels who sang praises to God when Jesus was born.
It was a multitude of angels (we don’t know exactly how many but Revelation
5:11 suggests that the number of the angelic host may be too large for the
human mind to fathom.). We know that angels do sing praises to God in heaven
and the Bible urges us to sing His praises too. That is the message of our
verse today. The reason the angels keep singing praises to God is because they
know how great and wonderful He is. The more we know about our Lord, the more
we will want to praise Him. Let's be watchful during these days of activity
before Christmas that we do not let the lights and the beauty of decorations and
the crush of commercialism distract us and cause us to forget God's greatness
and His love for us. As we sing carols let's be sure to remember to really pour
out praise to our God with all our hearts. Let’s make it a time of truly
praising and thanking God.
