For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. — Psalm 92:4

On a dark night, look up at the stars and you’ll see how wonderful they are. Think about how many different amazing things there are on earth. Look at your own life and you’ll see where God’s hand has been at work (Rom. 8:28). Jesus said that our Father is still at work (John 5:17). Yes, it makes us happy to know we’re not the only ones working on our own lives (Psalm 139; Phil. 2:13). Knowing that the LORD, the one who made the world, is at work in us and for us gives us a deep sense of joy. So it makes sense that singing praise comes so easily to us.
