37"When Jesus came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen:
38"Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!"[b]
"Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"
39Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples!"
40"I tell you," he replied, "if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out."Luke 19:37-40
Jesus is worthy to be praised. In fact, it is impossible for Him not to be praised and worshiped. His desire is to be praised by His people, whom he sacrificed His life for on the cross, but we fall short. It's hard to worship God sometimes. We get so caught up in our stress, our doubts, confusion. Our joy and freedom leave us at times and we have nothing to give. But, when we fail to praise Him, He remains the same. His very own creation never ceases to praise Him. God is always there. He never tires. He never gets sick of hearing our praises, He desperately longs for them. Let us never cease to give God the praise He so much deserves!
