Then the Levites, Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, “Stand up and bless the LORD your God from everlasting to everlasting. Blessed be your glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.” And Ezra said: “You are the LORD, you alone; you have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. To all of them you give life, and the host of heaven worships you. (Nehemiah 9:5-6, NRSV)
We are to give blessing and honor and love to the Lord…
Why?
Because He alone gave us and everything around us life. He alone created all living things. He created the heavens and the heavens of heavens, and the hosts of heaven who bless Him…
He gave you life. And that is why we should praise Him!
