I once had a pastor rebuke me for my zeal. He told me I was like a "great dane puppy- cute and enthusiastic but you don't want it on your lap." Quite honestly I deserved the rebuke because I lacked maturity and wisdom but that was also my first taste of how lifeless Christianity can be. We want everything to be calm and in control- respectable and upright. We are much more concerned about the opinion of man than we are about our walk with God.
I believe God is worthy of all our praise. There is a great song out by Mercy Me right now called "All of Creation" and I just can't get it loud enough! I imagine the day when all of creation- all of the fish and birds look heavenward- the trees lift their branches- the corn plants all raise their leaves in praise! Every knee bends - no more energy spent with creatures running in every direction- fighting and pulling. All of creation- sing with me now! Look heavenward and give Him the praise due Him!
Friday I was playing that song in the car while I drove to work and I had to open the sunroof and raise my hands out the opening just because I was so filled with praise I thought I would burst with the joy and enthusiam of it all! I was on a stretch of county highway and I doubt if anyone saw me- but I really didn't care if they did! God is worthy of all our praise. One line in the song says "the reason we breathe is to sing of His glory!" I say "Amen!"

I really like that song too, every time I hear it I can't help praising Him!
