An Angel Example!
"Praise Him, all His angels;
praise Him, all His hosts!"
Psalm 148: 2
In Romans 1, Apostle Paul identifies one of the
characteristics of fallen mankind: We worship and
serve “the creature rather than the Creator, who is
blessed forever” (verse 25).
The proper role of creation, everything that's
been created, is bring praise and honor to the
Creator. That includes animate and inanimate
parts of creation as well.
In Psalm 148, the psalmist expresses the theme
that all of creation must bring glory to the Creator:
sun, moon, stars, clouds, sea creatures, oceans,
lightning, hail, snow, winds,
mountains, hills, trees,
cedars, wild animals, cattle, small creatures, birds,
kings, princes, rulers, young men and maidens, old
men, children...and all the rest of creation.
At the head of his list is “all His angels...all His
hosts!” (verse 2) We always find angels fulfilling
their purpose throughout Scripture—like at the
birth of Christ when they glorified
God
(Luke 2:13-14).
You are part of creation. Follow the example
of the angels, God’s heavenly
hosts, and live
a life of praise and honor to God.
"Let earth and heaven combine,
angels and men agree, to praise
in songs divine the incarnate
Deity."
Charles Wesley
