“Ascribe To The Lord”

“Ascribe To The Lord”

Blessings folk!

In 1 Chronicles 16 we find a tremendous Psalm of thanksgiving.

We have been reading it.

Remember what David had instructed…

1Ch 16:4

He appointed some of the Levites as ministers before the ark of the LORD,
even to celebrate and to thank and praise the LORD God of Israel:

 1Ch 16:7

Then on that day David first assigned Asaph and his relatives to give thanks to the LORD.


David was setting up a structure of continual, round-the-clock, praise unto the Lord.

David was giving them insight as to “how to praise” the Lord.

Keep that in mind.

He shows by doing.

So should we.

There are too many who stand and talk (read) about “what we are to do”, yet there is no evidence of personal application nor example.

David was not such.

He did what he said.
True leaders do so.
You will know them by their fruit.

1Ch 16:27-29

Splendor and majesty are before Him,
Strength and joy are in His place.

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 before Him;
Worship the LORD in holy array.

David reminds them/us more about Who God is…
Splendor!
Majesty!
Strength!
Joy!

Then, he tells them/us what to do…
“Ascribe to the Lord…”
“Ascribe” means “go give”.

So…
Give to the Lord the glory He deserves.
Glory!
Strength!

Bring an offering.
Come before Him.
Worship the Lord in holy array

This we are to do.
Do we?
