Praise the Lord!

God is awesome! His works astounding! His right hand mighty! His knowledge and wisdom beyond what our minds can fathom! His faithfulness and greatness beyond measure! His love, none can compare! His voice, soothing to the soul! His grace, all sufficient! His power, to mighty for us to handle! His Son, faithful! His Spirit, comforting! To sum it all up because the list could go on and on, God is worthy to be praised, so why don't you just go ahead and praise the Lord!

The children of God ought to always have a smile on their face, rejoicing everyday in the presence of the Lord. The God we live for and serve is wonderful. He has such great compassion for us. He looks down upon us and He smiles. We are his beloved and redeemed children and He makes sure that we know that daily, we ought to praise Him.

I find it quite strange when I see those who say they are children of God, with their heads always hung low, never smiling, always tight lipped, with a woe is me, Charlie Brown attitude. And then they wonder why their skies are always gray, why gloom and doom always seem to be knocking on their door. It's because you have lost your praise. Instead of rejoicing, you frown; instead of clapping your hands with the multitude, you stand with your arms folded. When the devil has stolen your praise, He has stolen a vital weapon. No matter what you go through in life you should always praise the Lord. If your at the highest of heights, or the greatest depths of the valley, praise the Lord! 

And some of us get it confused, praise is not just something you do at Church; your whole life is a praise to God. When you walk in the footsteps of God, being obedient, yielding under His will and being a true Christian, a "little Christ," then you are praising Him. So don't think that praise only consist of dancing and singing; when you wake up in the morning and every action you make in life should be a praise to the Lord.

Psalm 149:1 "Praise the Lord. Sing to the Lord a new song, His praise in the assembly of the saints."

Psalm 149:5 "Let the saints rejoice in this honor and sing for joy on their beds."

Psalm 150:6 "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord."

God Bless!!!
