Praise the Lord

Praise the Lord. That is seems to be one of the primary functions of worship. We praise the Lord for who he is, Creator, Savior, and Provider. We praise the Lord for what he has done, creation, atonement, redemption.  We praise the Lord the for all the wonders that he has done. Psalm 150 is all about praise:

Praise the LORD!

Praise God in his sanctuary;

praise him in his mighty heavens!

Praise him for his mighty deeds;

praise him according to his excellent greatness!

Praise him with trumpet sound;

praise him with lute and harp!

Praise him with tambourine and dance;

praise him with strings and pipe!

Praise him with sounding cymbals;

praise him with loud clashing cymbals!

Let everything that has breath praise the LORD!

Praise the LORD!

(Psalm 150 ESV)

Sometimes I know that is it not always easy to praise the Lord. There are situations when we just do not feel like praising. We hurt, we are upset, we are questioning why God, why? But I encourage you to praise the Lord. Often times, when we change our own attitudes from anger to praise, it becomes easier to see all that God has done and is doing. So please join in and praise the Lord.
