“Immediately his mouth was opened, and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, praising God.” [1] Marvelous! Miraculous! Amazing! A man opened his mouth, and his tongue brought forth words of praise for God!
My prayer is that all humanity (including me) would be graciously granted the gift of praise-of-God language. And that we would sing heartily unto God in this extraordinary dialect.
Of all my human experiences, praising God in Spirit and truth and in the Name of His Son Jesus Christ, has been one of God's greatest gifts to me.
Was the night Jesus was born silent? What does the Bible say? “’This will be the sign to you: you will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.’ And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: ‘Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!’” [2] No, there was a host of angels praising and worshiping God.
“Thank You dear Lord Jesus for the gift of worship. You always fill our lives with songs of deliverance. Blessed be Your holy Name.”
[1] Luke 1:64
[2] Luke 2:12-14
