Text: Psalm 150:1-6
The wonderful thing about praising God is that it can be done creatively.
We must certainly praise Him in spirit and in truth; but there is a creative aspect of this in our every day experience. All kinds of cultural dancing, instruments, forms of music and song can be used to glorify God. One simply needs to be focused on the truths of God’s Word in order to find those elements of praise and worship that are pleasing to Him.
In this Psalm, we are encouraged to praise God for two main things: (i) who He is in power; and (ii) for the greatness of what He does with that power. If you think carefully of all what that means, you will have endless reasons, themes, and subjects to praise God for. That’s why you will be encouraging everyone around you to praise the Lord all the time. Praising Him is our preparation for what we will be doing for eternity in heaven!
(see Rev. 15.2-4) Who will you encourage today to praise Him? Praise the Lord!!
Meditate on verse 2. How are you going to apply it to your life?
Our Lord God and benevolent Father, I pray that You bless us with diverse abilities to Your praise to a higher level because of Your mighty acts according to Your excellent greatness!
In the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who was at the beginning, is now and ever shall be. Amen.
