1 Chronicles 29
IT’S YOUR TURN NOW

As David concluded his final speech to Israel dedicating his son Solomon to be king and devoting all the articles of gold, silver and other precious things to the temple, he led them in a prayer of thankfulness, praise and petition. “Then David said to all the assembly, ‘Bless the Lord your God.’ And all the assembly blessed the Lord, the God of their fathers, and bowed their heads and paid homage to the Lord and to the king.” (1 Chronicles 29 v 20 ESV).

I really like the way the Contemporary English Version puts it:  “David then said to the people, ‘Now it’s your turn to praise the Lord, the God your ancestors worshiped!’” (v 20 CEV).

We so often listen to prayers of thankfulness, praise or petition at our worship services or Bible classes, and then we say, “Amen” and sit down, but the moment is forgotten. We may have been led in prayer or worship by someone else, but let’s not end it there. Let’s remember the words of David “Now it’s your turn to praise the Lord!”

May praise flow from our lives this week.

With love in our Lord,
Robert
