Ascribe

This morning we begin worship with:

Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength! Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; bring an offering, and come into his courts! Worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness; tremble before him, all the earth!

The key word is "ascribe" (yaw-hab').  It is said using the ancient highlighter of repetition.  Three times the reader is asked to give God his due worship.  It is a simple word meaning to give.

Silence in the face of God and surrounded by His creation is unacceptable.  Worship should naturally flow from us.

Never may we be silent, particularly around our children and grand-children.  Let us always ascribe to God the greatness due His greatness, love, and providence.
