But may all who search for you be filled with joy and gladness in you. May those who love your salvation repeatedly shout, "The Lord is great!" (Psalm 40:16 NLT)
We "shout" at football games, baseball games, basketball games, and on dozens of other occasions. But, we're quiet as a church mouse when we gather to worship the living God. Every once in a while maybe we should schedule a cheer in the order of service instead of a choir special or a Gospel solo. We could all lift our voices and "repeatedly shout, 'The Lord is great...The Lord is great.'" It might just wake up and shake up a few lethargic and apathetic Christians sitting in todays church pews!
