||Pastoral Passage|| Every single facet of creation is called upon to worship God because he is the Creator, the King, and the Redeemer, but only humanity can articulate God’s worthiness with words.

The time when we praise God in song is a time to force cold and indifferent hearts into duty, to nurse godly affections into greater strength that have been smothered by our inclination to self, and to shove aside distracting thoughts of life’s affairs.
