How Good It Is - In the Bible [Verses & Devotional]
As we listen to Chris Tomlin's "How Good It Is," we are reminded of the joy and privilege it is to praise the Lord. The song echoes the sentiments found in Psalm 100:4, "Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name." The song and this verse both invite us to approach God with a heart full of gratitude, acknowledging His goodness and enduring love.
The lyrics, "O how good that it is to sing praise to the Lord, O how great is the Name above all names," resonate with Philippians 2:9-11, where it is written, "Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." The song and this scripture passage both emphasize the supremacy of God's name and the joy of praising Him.
The song also beautifully captures the essence of Psalm 19:1, "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands." As the lyrics say, "Rivers will clap their hands, Mountains will lift their song, Even the rocks cry out, Creation stands in awe," we are reminded that all of creation is a testament to God's glory and majesty.
The song and these scriptures remind us of the goodness of God, His enduring love, and the joy of praising Him. They invite us to join in with all of creation in singing praises to the Lord, from the rising of the sun to its setting.
As we reflect on these truths, let's ask ourselves: How often do we enter God's presence with thanksgiving and praise? Do we recognize the privilege it is to praise the name above all names? And do we join in with all of creation in declaring the glory of God? Let's take a moment to consider how we can more fully embrace the joy of praising God in our daily lives.
