As we praise the Lord, we exalt Him and bless His name each
moment of our day, for as long as we live and then on into eternity. He is
great and so worthy of all of our adoration. His greatness is incomprehensible
to our finite mind (Psalm 145:1-3). His name will endure for
eternity and every generation will know Him as Lord (Psalm
135:13).
Everyone that has breath praises Him in worship, in nature,
with musical instruments and with dancing (Psalm 150:1-6). Each
generation will communicate His works to the next, and they will declare His
mighty acts to each individual, as well as to the nations, which He blesses (Psalm
145:4-6, 21).
Therefore, we should sing praises to the Lord our God,
while we live (Psalm 146:1-2). The Lord longs to be gracious to
His people. He makes every effort to show compassion to us. He is the God of
justice and mercy, and we are blessed if we wait for His timing in everything
we say and do (Isaiah 30:18). Singing His praises is good and
beautiful.
God is the stability of all times, and we can trust in Him.
He is a wealth of wisdom, provision and deliverance to those who put all of
their faith in Him. Honoring the Lord is the key to receiving this treasure (Isaiah
33:6). We praise Him for His great mercy, which He gave us
through His new birth; and for His living hope, which He provided through the
resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. (Psalm 147:1).
Prayer:
Father God, we bless You, because You hear our prayers. You
are our strength and protection. Our soul trusts in You, because You are always
ready to help us. Our heart exceedingly rejoices in the beauty of Your holiness
and we give thanks to You in continual praises (Psalm 28:6-7). You are
enthroned between the angels and You alone are the God over every kingdom and
nation of this earth, which You created (Isaiah 37:16).
Thought for the Day:
The high praises of God are in our mouth, and His Holy Word
is in our hands, as we hide it within our heart. - Psalm 119:11, 149:6; Hebrews
4:12
