Out of 10, what do you think your praise volume is set at normally? On Sunday mornings, it can get quite high. But what about during the rest of the week? It is more difficult to keep praising God when there are others who want you to turn down the volume, or mute it altogether. When Jesus entered Jerusalem for the Passover, he rode on a donkey while the disciples praised him, and put palm leaves on the road. He got the red-carpet treatment from the disciples. But some of the Pharisees wanted the volume turned down, muted completely. They told Jesus so, to which he responded that it was such a proper thing to do that even the stones on the road themselves would have sung his praise if the disciples had not done so. We may find all kinds of people wanting us to turn down the volume of our praise to God. We may even have turned it down a lot already. But maybe we ought to turn it up to its proper volume, and praise God at the level he deserves. How can each of us turn up the volume during the weeks ahead, not just on Sunday mornings?
