Make a Joyful Noise to the Lord, All the Earth!
What does it look like to truly see God? Psalm 98 opens with a bold declaration that God has revealed himself to the entire world through his salvation, and that all the ends of the earth have witnessed it. Yet so many of us walk through life with a muted sense of joy, going through the motions of worship without being genuinely moved. This sermon digs into that tension, asking us to honestly examine whether we are actually seeing God and responding to him, or whether something is blocking our view. The psalmist paints a picture where not only God's people but all of creation, the seas, the rivers, the hills, are erupting in praise at what God has done. If creation itself is groaning and anticipating his return, what does that say about how we ought to be responding? The spiritual lesson here is both humbling and liberating: if we cannot see God clearly, the problem is not on his end. He has not hidden himself. The invitation is to press deeper, to fix our eyes on who God is and what he has done, and to let that vision transform us from the inside out.
