Psalm 150 is a call to all God’s people to praise their Creator, it’s words filled with love for the one who loved and gave all for us; before we knew how to love Him. Words that echo through the halls of time bringing light to a new generation; acknowledgement of the Majesty of our Creator and the beauty of His creation. A song whispered on the breeze calling all nature to sing it’s melody. It gives us not only reasons to praise, but; methods of praise.
Our God is worthy of praise, it is He who grants us the breath of life, washes away our sins, gives us second chances, renews our spirits and teaches us right living through His Holy Spirit. We are admonished to praise Him in His sanctuary; praise Him in the firmament of His power. Praise Him according to His excellent greatness; praise Him with the psaltery and harp. Praise Him with the timbrel and the dance; praise Him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise Him upon the loud cymbals; praise Him upon the high sounding cymbals. LET everything that has breath praise ye the Lord.
so I ask my brothers and my sisters where is your praise? Is clapping your hands or lifting them up or saying Amen or hallelujah being to emotional? Are you afraid of what others might say if you give God the praise locked in your heart because they choose to remain silent? Do you think it is being irreverent to verbalize your praise? Prayer and praise are the keys that unlock the storehouse of Heaven, when praises go up, blessings come down. If you have been given the opportunity to see one year exit and another make it’s entrance you have a reason to praise; if you have eyes to see, ears to hear, and a mouth that speaks, you have a reason to praise.
If your cupboard is not empty and there is a roof over your head, you have a reason to praise. The enemy wants your praise, he gets excited when you fail to give God the praise and honor He Only deserves. It was the enemy’s desire to be worshiped that caused his fall from grace. He smiles each time we fail to give God our praise. I have resolved, as I am blessed with life; I’ll praise the Lord. In trial and storms, I’ll praise the Lord, when my heart is broken; I’ll praise the Lord. In every circumstance, with all I am or hope to be; I’ll praise the Lord. In sickness or in health, I will praise the Lord and when my time on this earth is done; with my last breath I will praise the Lord.
My revelation as I sit by the pool of grace
I don’t know what a psaltery is but whatever the instrument I will praise the Lord!!
I am limited on this earth with my hands and mouth praising our Lord but I will use all that I have to sing his praises and rejoice whenever possible because he is worthy of our praise!!
beautifully written as always and I will not lock away my praise!!
