O, for a Thousand Tongues to Sing

As I look back on the landscape of social media these past couple of days, believe it or not, it's a song that comes to mind as the prayer of my heart:

O, for a Thousand Tongues to Sing My Great Redeemer's Praise!

Not the praises (or woes) of Hillary

Nor the praises (or woes) of Trump

Not the song of self-righteousness

Nor the judgement given through your opinion

Not the scorn of a people group

Nor the fear of the future

The believer is called to proclaim, to herald, to sing, to shout, to magnify, to exalt our great Redeemer and His great salvation. A great salvation that can:

Save Hillary

Save Trump

Save the self-righteous

Save those weighed down by unfair judgements

Save the scorned and the scorner

Save unto eternal life those who fear the future and have put their hope in man

I beg those of you who are "hid in Christ" to examine yourselves, to make sure that the messages you are proclaiming in the lunchroom, at the coffee shop, on Facebook, Twitter, and the blogs you write are words that promote the fame of the Lord, that lift the eyes of those around you off of each other and onto the One who sits on His throne, Who does what He pleases in all perfection and goodness, Who will, one day, wipe away every tear and make all things right for those who love Him, Who is the definition of hope and true peace.

"Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen."  I Timothy 1:17
