Praise from the Highest Heights!

Phil 2:9 "Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name." We serve a God that deserves the highest praise and he made that very clear in scripture. As believers our call is to exalt the Lord to the highest place and one example of this is found in Washington D.C. One detail that is seldom mentioned in the capital is there can never be a building of greater height than the Washington Monument
With such a battle to remove the ten commandments, etc., it's amazing that the tallest building is a testament to God. You see, on the aluminum cap, atop the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C. , are displayed two words: Laus Deo. These words have been there for many years; they are 555 feet, 5.125 inches high, perched atop the monument, facing skyward to the Father of our nation, overlooking the 69 square miles which comprise the District of Columbia , capital of the United States of America.Laus Deo! Two seemingly insignificant, unnoticed words. Out of sight and, one might think, out of mind, but very meaningfully placed at the highest point over what is the most powerful city in the most successful nation in the world. So, what do those two words, in Latin, composed of just four syllables and only seven letters, possibly mean? Very simply,
they say " Praise be to God!" Though construction of this giant obelisk began in 1848, when James Polk was President of the United States , it was not until 1888 that the monument was inaugurated and opened to the public. It took twenty-five years to finally cap the memorial with a tribute to the Father of our nation, Laus Deo. "Praise be to God!"
Friends, God has always been worthy of the highest praise and that's something that will never change. Granted, not everyone can post there praise on a skyscraper, but we can all find our own way to make his praises known. Remember, you are a city on a hill that cannot be hidden and if you don't give him the highest praise then even the rocks will cry out.
