As we continue our journey through this ancient hymn ask the Holy Spirit to help you issue this call to worship. Be sure to find your place in the praise. Let’s tune our hearts.
All Things
No one gets a pass. There will be no exceptions or excuses. There is coming a day when all creation will bless our Creator.
Are you ready for that? Do you engage in His praise regularly? When did you last invite someone into that eternity-altering reality that is giving thanks to the One who made all things?
If not, why not? Remove whatever excuses just came to mind. He is worthy. Deny the exceptions you might be tempted to offer. He is worthy. Bless your Creator. He is worthy.
Let all things their Creator bless
All your works shall give thanks to you, O Lord, and all your saints shall bless you! Psalm 145:10 ESV
We started out with all creatures, went through a number of unexpected creations, and now have come full circle. The use of the word bless here means to thank, or express gratitude. All things should express gratitude to our creator. Have you done it today?
Nothing and no one is exempt. All things should offer blessing and thanks to our Creator. But so many of us do not. We never become aware of our need to respond to Him. Are you doing your part to call others to offer their praise to God?
RESONATE!
Take a few moments and consider your level of gratitude. Did you offer any to God today? It is the first step toward inviting others in the praise. Make this your simple prayer “Creator, help me call others to worship.”
Humble Worship
Who do we think we are? Too often we have an exaggerated self image, or self importance. We simply think too highly of ourselves. This can lead us to a point that we think we are the ones worthy of worship.
Not certain you have ever let your pride get the best of you? Oh, that is what we are talking about after all. Pride, a feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction. That really would not be an issue if it did not keep us from giving God the glory due Him for all He has done.
Have you worshipped Him today? Have you been more concerned with your interests or pursuits? Humbly worship God right now.
And worship Him in humbleness
Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and everything that moves in them. Psalm 69:34 ESV
Every moving thing in heaven, on the earth, and in the seas should give praise to God. Why? He made us, created us to reveal his glory. We should be careful to give him all the worship that only He deserves. We must be diligent about this because He is worthy.
Humility is even more lacking than praise, for it is the humbling of ourselves that heightens our awareness of our need to worship. We humble ourselves before the God who made us, and in so doing create an even greater ability to welcome others into the praise.
RESONATE
Take a few moments and think about worshipping in humbleness. What would that look like for you? Maybe simply telling God that you want to be more concerned for His glory than your own well-being? Pray this simple prayer, “Father, help me know how to humble myself. “
Jesus, thank You for growing things and the abundance they produce. May that abundance satisfy my appetite and fuel my adoration. Help me be as eager to praise as the Earth is to be fertile. In Jesus’ name.

Welcome to Tuesday Tunings at Resonant 7, where we reflect on the reality of God and resolve to let it resound in our lives, repeatedly. Let’s tune our hearts.
Let all things their Creator bless
And worship Him in humbleness
O praise Him alleluia
Praise praise the Father praise the Son
And praise the Spirit Three in One
Nothing and no one is exempt. All things should offer blessing and thanks to our Creator. But so many of us do not. We never become aware of our need to respond to Him. Are you doing your part to call others to offer their praise to God?
Creator, help me call others to worship.
Humility is even more lacking than praise, for it is the humbling of ourselves that heightens our awareness of our need to worship. We humble ourselves before the God who made us, and in so doing create an even greater ability to welcome others into the praise.
Father, help me how to humble myself.
And just who is the recipient of all this praise? First of all, God the Father, our Maker. He made us to praise, yet we went our own way. Second, God the Son, who made the way for us to come back to the Father. Jesus reconciles us and reveals the Father to us.
Jesus, thank You for making a way back to God.
Third, the Holy Spirit does the work of bringing us to the end of ourselves so that we can see our need of a Savior. When He shows us Jesus is that Savior it fuels our praise. All three members of the Trinity doing their part to invite and into and enabling our praise.
O Three in One, enable my praise.
Take a few moments to talk to Jesus about what has surfaced in your heart, or just listen to what He is saying to you, then we will sing once more.
Let all things their Creator bless
And worship Him in humbleness
O praise Him alleluia
Praise praise the Father praise the Son
And praise the Spirit Three in One
O praise Him alleluia
Take the awareness of God’s presence cultivated in these last few minutes into the next ones and beyond. Until next time, b
Be Resonant.
