Praise the Lord!


“Praise the Lord.  Praise, O servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord.  Let the name of the Lord be praised, both now and forevermore.  From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised.”  Ps. 113:1-3

Hallal!  Hallal Yah!  The Praise the Lord!  We are called to praise Him, to magnify and extol the Lord.  Notice the connection between praising and the name of the Lord.  His name is a reflection of His nature and character and desire to act on behalf of His people.  We praise Him as Provider, Sustainer, Creator, Father and so much more.

We are to praise continually.  The Psalmist writes “both now and forevermore” we are to praise Him.  Can we stop what we are doing right now and praise the Lord?  Can we praise Him in what we are doing?  As the sun rises, we praise Him – our Great and Wondrous God.  At noonday we praise Him.  As the sun takes its rightful place that the Creator designed for it, we praise God.  We praise Him because He is God – not because of us, but because of Him.

Think of all that God has done in your life.  Praise Him, Praise the Lord!
