These verses from Psalm 66 are calling us to join with all creation in praising God.
Psalm 66:1-7
1 Shout for joy to God, all the earth;
2 sing the glory of His name; give to Him glorious praise!
3 Say to God, “How awesome are Your deeds!
So great is Your power that Your enemies come cringing to You.
4 All the earth worships You and sings praises to You;
they sing praises to Your name.”
5 Come and see what God has done:
He is awesome in His deeds toward the children of man.
6 He turned the sea into dry land;
they passed through the river on foot.
There did we rejoice in Him, 7 who rules by His might forever,
whose eyes keep watch on the nations - let not the rebellious exalt themselves.
Come and see what God has done! On days we live in good health and under other great blessings of God, it's easy and comfortable to sing this song. But on other days when our pain continues, and our struggles seem endless, can we still sing with the psalmist?
Especially during your difficult times, ask yourself this question: What is it that God has done for you? What awesome deeds toward the children of man can you celebrate? There is one I know for sure, even not knowing what's going on in your life. God has sent His Son Jesus Christ, who became your Savior on Calvary's cross. There Jesus completed His suffering and died for you, taking upon Himself all the punishment you deserve. You are set free from the guilt & shame of your sins; confess them and they are forgiven! That is as awesome as anything gets!
Pause today and consider what God has done for you. Come and see, Jesus has set you free!
