Declare It!

This older-me recalls an old-fashioned exclamation used by my grandparents' generation; they would say "I declare" or "I do declare" to express surprise or disbelief. My Nanny would often slap her knee when she ... declared! God is known to "declare" - to make Himself known: "Splendid and majestic is His work, and His righteousness endures forever. He has made His wonderful acts to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and merciful and full of loving compassion. ... He has declared and made known to His people the power of His works." (Psalm 111:3-4, 6 AMP). Many people think God is unknown in parts of the earth, however, His Word tells us: "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims His handiwork." (Psalm 19:1 ESV) ... "For His invisible attributes, namely, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse." (Romans 1:20 ESV). Evidence of God's Presense - Divine Design - are everywhere throughout God's creation! Those who have responded to God's gracious gift of Jesus, however, are commanded to openly declare His Goodness: "Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous works among all the peoples!" (Psalm 96:3 ESV) ... "Let them give glory to the Lord, and declare His praise in the coast lands." (Isaiah 42:12 ESV). Now is the day and the time to give God the glory for all His good works and eternal goodness. Yes, we must ... declare it!
