Praise the LORD! Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty expanse. (2)Praise Him for His mighty deeds; Praise Him according to His excellent greatness.(3) Praise Him with trumpet sound; Praise Him with harp and lyre.(4) Praise Him with timbrel and dancing; Praise Him with stringed instruments and pipe. (5)Praise Him with loud cymbals; Praise Him with resounding cymbals. (6) Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD!
Psalm 150
How many times do we actually take the time to praise our great God? Maybe we haven't been meditating on Who He is or on His goodness to us. Maybe we have been filling our minds with entertainment as a fluffy diversion from the cares of the world. Maybe we have forgotten Him.
How many times does Scripture urge us to praise the Lord? Just try reading Psalm 107 to be reminded of our call to praise. My God is good and He wants to have His children praise His name. Do we not praise the ones we love? Do we not praise complete and total strangers for a job well done if they come to help us with someone? We praise atheletes, actors, preachers, and friends, but do we praise our God.
I don't know about you, but once you're in love it seems the easiest thing in the world to find ways to praise the person who makes your life shimmer with gladness; to find methods of complimenting a soul's best friend. Why can't we do that for God? He's always listening.
