Ascribe: Attribute, Give credit to
Possibly you have heard the saying, ‘give credit to those where credit is due.’
Give God credit, ascribing to Him – the credit which He is due!
1 Chronicles 16:27-29
“Splendor and majesty are before Him,
Strength and joy are in His place.
28 Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples,
Ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
29 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name;
Bring an offering and come before Him;
Worship the LORD in holy array. (In the splendor of His holiness.)”
How great is our God!
Splendor and majesty!
Strength and joy!
Attribute – give credit to the LORD not just one, ALL are to ascribe to the LORD.
Attribute – give credit to the LORD glory and strength, the glory due His name.
How can we do that? By bringing an offering and coming before Him.
Romans 12:1 (paraphrased) By God’s mercies I present my life, my body, as a living sacrifice – yielding to God each day. I am to present a holy sacrifice, a sacrifice set apart for God!
I am to present a pleasing sacrifice to God – to live in a way to please Him.
I am to present an acceptable sacrifice to God – it is to be His way, not mine.
I am to choose to worship the LORD, His way, not mine.
I am to choose to worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness.
