Praise the Lord

Psalm 148

¹ Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights.

² Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.

³ Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.

⁴ Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.

⁵ Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.

⁶ He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.

⁷ Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:

⁸ Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word:

⁹ Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:

¹⁰ Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:

¹¹ Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:

¹² Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:

¹³ Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.

¹⁴ He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD.

 

After reading this passage, don't you think that the Lord wants us to Praise Him?! We're to praise Him from the heavens, in the heights, his angels are to Praise Him, the sun, moon and stars. Then, we're created of Him we are to praise Him.

 

Are you praising the Lord today? What can we praise the Lord?

Salvation

Family

Health

Place to live

Jobs

the air we breath

the ground we walk up

So many things this is just a pinch of what we can Praise the Lord for.

 

Do you Journal? If not, why don't you begin if you do add this to it. Write down your Praises, if it weren't for our Heavenly Father we wouldn't have much even think of giving Praise for.

 

This can even go in other directions:

Parents, do you praise your children for good work?

Wives, do you praise your husband for what he does for you and your family?

Husbands, do you praise your wife?

 

As Christians we have so much to give Praise for but yet we sit back and grip and complain instead. Stop Read Ps. 148 and then tell me you have nothing to Praise the Lord or anyone for.

 

I Praise the Lord for the man he gave me of 23 yrs and the wonderful children he's allowed me have. What are going to Praise the Lord for?
