Conclusion

 

 

 

Our God is worthy of praise.  This is because our God is the Lord Most High (47: 2, 9) who loves us the most (v. 4) and who reigns over as our King (v. 8).  We are to sing the song of salvation, the song of victory to God, the most beloved Lord Most High and King who reigns over us [The song of Moses (1) (Exod. 15:1-18)].  We must praise God for who He is, what He has done for us, and what He will do in the future.  We must also sing the song that must not be forgotten [The song of Moses (2) (Deut. 32:1-43)].  Although we are doing evil to God, we must praise God's greatness, and His glory as He chooses us, guides us, protects us, and trains us in this wilderness-like world.  We must praise God's almighty power, God's kingship, and God's holiness [The song of Moses, the song of the Lamb (Rev. 14:2-4)].  Since the covenant God blessed us as God's people, we must praise God [The song of Balaam (1) (Num. 23:7-10)].  We must praise God because not only that God changed the curse into blessing for us by sending His begotten Son Jesus and let Him hang on the tree of curse, but also He separated us from the world, and made His people like dust on the earth.  We must sing the truth of God and the God’s unchangeability [The song of Balaam (2) (vv. 18-24)].  We must also sing our happiness and our exaltation [The song of Balaam (3) (24:1-9)].  We are to sing Jesus Christ, “a star,” the descendant of David, and “the Bright Morning Star” (Rev. 22:16) [The song of Balaam (4) (Num. 24:10-19)].  And we must love the Lord.  And we who love the Lord must be willing volunteers, depend on God’s saving power and resolve and practice.  Then God will cause us to shine forth the light of victory in this dark sinful world and also to shine up the light of salvation in this dark world.  Therefore, we must shed the light of God's salvation by preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ [The song of Deborah and Barak (Judg. 5:1-31)].  We must live a victorious life.  In order to do this, we must be the mighty of Jesus Christ and fight together the spiritual wars with our lives [The song of David (2 Sam 1:17-27)].  We must exalt Jesus, the King of kings, more than any king or people in the world.  We must be lowered and humbled when we are exalted by people.  And we must overcome the sinful jealousy [The song of women (1 Sam. 18:1-9)].  We are to sing and ask God, "O Lord.  Revive Your work in the midst of the years” and "In wrath, remember mercy” [The song of Habakkuk (1) (Hab. 3:2)].  We must rejoice in the Lord.  This is because God is our salvation and our strength [The song of Habakkuk (2) (vv. 16-19)].  We who heard the good news of great joy of the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ should praise the Lord’s work of redemption by the glory of God and the peace of God that is Jesus Christ, like the numerous angels, because of His death on the cross and His resurrection [The song of the angels (Lk. 2:8-20)].  We are to praise the Lord because of His lovingkindness is better than our lives [The song of James (Ps. 63:3)].  We must give praise to God in acknowledgment of His being God.  And we must boast and exalt God in our praise. We must look to God's authority and power and be faithful in praising ministry that enables others to put their trust in God [“Praise the Lord” (Ps. 134)].  We are to praise God, who has chosen us to be His own treasured possessions, and has given us not only the natural grace but also the special grace of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
