Passion for Praise: 'Fields and Crops Burst Out with Joy'

Sunday, May 24, 1964

Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice! Tell all the nations, "The Lord reigns!" Let the sea and everything in it shout his praise! Let the fields and their crops burst out with joy! Let the trees of the forest rustle with praise, for the Lord is coming to judge the earth.
— 1 Chronicles 16:31-33
