Doxology

"Praise God from whom all blessings flow.  Praise Him all peoples here below.  Praise Him above ye heavenly host.  Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost."–The Doxology

This is one of the classic hymns of Christianity, known as The Doxology.  This word, doxology, is a word of such beauty and depth that I should say once we understand its meaning we would all strive to live our entire lives doxologically.  

Doxology is the combination of two Greek words: doxa meaning belief held or glory, and logos meaning word or statement.  So, quite literally, a doxology is a statement of belief and glory.  In the highest sense, then, a true doxology is a statement of believing in God's glory.  It is a word of praise utterance, a declaration of the glory of God.  In a real sense, then, our lives should become living doxologies: walking, breathing testimonies to the glory of God.

At the end of these, O that we would live a life that sings out: Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
