We often sing, "To God be the glory, for the things He has done..."  He is
to be glorified in our whole being.  As we live in this attitude of
glorifying God it will be reflected in our walk before man.

Scripture tells us in 1 Corinthians 6:20,
"For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body, and
in your spirit, which are God's."

Yes, bought and paid for at a great price.  The Apostle Paul reminds us in 1
Corinithians 6,
"Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ...?"  Vs. 15
"Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in
you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?"  Vs. 19

Yes, God has divine ownship!  We are His!
"...Is not He your Father who has bought you?  He has made you and
established you."  Deuteronomy 32:6b
"For not one of us lives for himself, and not one dies for himself; for if
we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord; therefore
whether we live or die, we are the Lord's."  Romans 14:7-8

"Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of
Christ...standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for
the faith of the gospel."  Philippians 1:27

"Now may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of
the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus; that with one
accord you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ."  Romans 15:5-6

So as one, wherever we are around this country, let us lift up our voices,
our hearts, our whole beings in praise as we worship and glorify Almighty
God;
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  Yes, let's Praise the Lord!

"Praise the Lord!
 Praise, O servants of the Lord.
 Blessed be the name of the Lord
 From this time forth and forever.
 From the rising of the sun to its setting
 The name of the Lord is to be praised.  Psalm 113:1-3
