When you live in a Muslim country there is one sound you become very used to hearing, the daily call to prayer. The Muezzin ascends the minaret and calls the faithful to prayer. He repeats the following four times, once facing East, West, North and South. Allah is the most great. There is no god but Allah. Mohammad is his prophet.
The call of the Muezzin can be heard throughout the vicinity of the mosque and further depending on what might be used to amplify his voice. The message is loud and clear. Stop what you’re doing and pray.
The Jews use a horn to call the faithful to prayer. Some churches use bells to call the faithful to the service.
God wants His followers to proclaim His name loud and clear and far and wide. God desires that He becomes so much a part of our lives that wherever we go, whatever we do, and whatever we say, we declare to the world there is none like Him.
Father, there is none like You! The heavens declare your glory. You cause the rain to fall on the just and unjust alike. Thank you for letting me the sun rise this morning.
“Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth. 2 Sing to the Lord, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day 3 Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.” Psalm 96:1-3 NIV
