Praise and worship are very evident in the record of the birth of Jesus Christ. God's awesomeness is recognized and praise spews forth. The Magi (wise men or Kings) bow down and worship the King of Kings as he lay in the manger. They recognize His majesty. The shepherds praise God. Zechariah and Mary speak or sing words of praise and glory. In the midst of their travels, work, responsibilities, difficulties, uncertainties, marvels and relationships they praise God. This Christmas anniversary may we praise God. When you drive or walk by a manger scene praise God. While waiting in traffic or in a line praise God. When your day seems to being going south praise God. When prayers are answered praise God. Praise God. Choose praise.

Psalm 150
1 Praise the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens.
2 Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness.
3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre,
4 praise him with tambourine and dancing, praise him with the strings and flute,
5 praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals.
6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD.


The Christ-child stood at Mary's knee,
His hair was like a crown,
And all the flowers looked up at Him
And all the stars looked down.
- G. K. Chesterton
