God's Secretary

God's Secretary
Of all the creatures both in sea and land,
Only to man thou hast made known thy ways,
And put the pen alone into his hand,
And made him secretary of thy praise.
-George Herbert

What a privilege, God, to be Your secretary -- 
to write praises that both 
originate in You and 
end as offerings to You!
   
It is the vocabulary of highest praise!
