O kingdoms of the earth, sing to God; sing praises to the Lord, Selah to him who rides in the heavens, the ancient heavens; behold, he sends out his voice, his mighty voice. Ascribe power to God, whose majesty is over Israel, and whose power is in the skies. Awesome is God from his sanctuary; the God of Israel—he is the one who gives power and strength to his people.
Blessed be God!Psalm 68:32 - 35 (ESV)
All power and glory belong to God. We should "ascribe" this fact. It seems so simple, so normal, to ascribe power and glory to ourselves, to proclaim our glory, and speak of our wonders. Ascribing glory to self is a waste of time and reduces any hope of clarity. Self-eclipsing God distorts reality and places our lives in a constant shadow.
It is good for us to declare the truth verbally. We need to hear it and say it, and the more we do that, the more likely we are to live within the truth. There is a danger in meaningless verbiage.
