READ: Psalm 66:1-10

All the earth shall worship You and sing praises to You. —Psalm 66:4

“Keep on travelin’. Keep on . . .” sang the teenagers of the Dayspring Chorale. They had just sung the first five words of their Sunday evening concert when everything went dark. All power was gone.

Well, not all power. Not true power.

The students kept singing. Flashlights were found to shine on the chorale as they sang their entire repertoire without accompaniment.

Midway through the concert, the director, my daughter Lisa, asked the congregation to sing along. It was goosebump time as God’s name was lifted high in that darkened church. “Hallelujah” never seemed so heavenly.

Before the concert, everyone had worked hard to make sure all the electrical equipment was working. But the best thing that happened was for that power to go out. As a result, God’s power was highlighted. God’s light, not electric light, shone through. Jesus was praised.

Sometimes our plans break down and our efforts fall short. When things happen that we can’t control, we must “keep on travelin’” and remember where the real power for godly living and true praise comes from. When our efforts falter, we need to keep praising and lifting up Jesus. It’s all about Him anyway.

Sing praise to God who reigns above,
The God of all creation,
The God of power, the God of love,
The God of our salvation.  —Schutz

God’s great power deserves our grateful praise.

Bible in One Year:   Joshua 13-15; Luke 1:57-80
