He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He will also hear their cry and will save them... My mouth will speak the praise of the LORD; and all flesh will bless His holy name forever and ever.
I think you would agree with me that the value of the computer is in its capacity and capability for both informational input and informational output. And wouldn't you say that to lose either is to lose the computer's purpose and power. The same is true of us spiritually. Too many Christians are bloated with input, but are lacking in output. Some of us are full of grace but do little with praise. There should be a natural reflex in all of us, that when God's grace is experienced, God's praise is extolled. As we speak freely, quickly and eagerly of God's constant involvement in our lives, the world around us will know the source of our help, hope and happiness, causing them to "bless His holy name forever and ever." Our silence is death. On the other hand, there are those who are heavy into praise, but little on grace. While the one is power without praise, this is praise without power. The clear reality of both, working in sync with each other, is a dynamic that testifies to the world as nothing else can. And oh what grace! "He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He will also hear their cry and will save them..." How can we not but say, "My mouth will speak the praise of the LORD." Surely the world ought to hear us and say, "Oh what praise!"
