Psalm 150

Praise the Lord


Praise God in his sanctuary;
    praise him in his mighty heavens.
Praise him for his acts of power;
    praise him for his surpassing greatness.
Praise him with the sounding of the trumpets,
    praise him with the harp and lyre,
praise him with tambourine and dancing,
    praise him with the strings and flute,
praise him with the clash of cymbals,
    praise him with resounding cymblas.



Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. (italics mine)


Praise the Lord.



~Psalm 150



Amen and amen!  I confess I had never read this psalm before, and last night when I did, I sat back in awe because God, the maker of the universe, desires praise from me.  He doesn't need praise from me; He doesn't make me praise Him.  He desires praise from me.  One day "every knee should bow...every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord (Phil 2:10-11)," but until then, we have the choice to praise Him.  He doesn't force us into anything.  We have the option to either accept or reject Him.  How incredibly awesome is our God.
