11. How can we share our songs of praise with those around us? Psalm 95:1-3.
NOTE: ‘“Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be; but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is.” What a promise is this, that we may share in the glory of our Redeemer! The bright beams of the Sun of Righteousness shine upon the servants of God, and they are to reflect His rays. As the stars tell us that there is a great light in Heaven, with whose glory they are made bright, so Christians are to make it manifest that there is a God on the throne of the universe whose character is worthy of praise and imitation.’ Signs of the Times, March 2, 1888,
12. Who will join with us in these songs of praise throughout eternity? Revelation 5:13.
NOTE: ‘“Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord.” Shall we not be able to persuade the silent lips and voices to sing His praises? The time will come when all will praise Him. “And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof; for Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by Thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; and hast made us unto our God kings and priests.... Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb forever and ever.” Oh let us begin to sing the songs of heaven here, and then we can join the heavenly company above.’ Review & Herald, June 4, 1895.
Final thought: Mark 10:51, first part. ‘And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee?’
