A brief prayer is offered that you can add to your daily
prayers this week. The scripture is from our Sunday Service Bulletin for
today. We are continuing a summer sermon
series on Psalms.
OT READING: Psalm 150
(English Standard Version)
Praise the Lord!
Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens!
2 Praise him for his mighty deeds;
praise him according to his excellent greatness!
Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens!
2 Praise him for his mighty deeds;
praise him according to his excellent greatness!
3 Praise him with trumpet sound;
praise him with lute and harp!
4 Praise him with tambourine and dance;
praise him with strings and pipe!
5 Praise him with sounding cymbals;
praise him with loud clashing cymbals!
6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord!
praise him with lute and harp!
4 Praise him with tambourine and dance;
praise him with strings and pipe!
5 Praise him with sounding cymbals;
praise him with loud clashing cymbals!
6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord!
Devotion: Praise the
Lord!!
Have you ever noticed that Psalm 1 and Psalm 150 [that is to
say the first and the last] have the same number of verses and are fairly short?
There is a big difference though, in what they say. Psalm 1 is a description of
how we should do our duty and Psalm 150 is all about praise. By the way, I
counted “Praise” 13 times in six short verses. As our sermon pointed out this
morning here is the who, how, and why:
Why? Because of the Lord’s mighty deeds -- one of which is giving
each of us [that includes you!] life.
How? Today’s text includes almost all of the musical
instruments available at the time. This must mean to use everything we have to
praise him, sing, dance, shout, clap your hands, stomp your feet………
Who? Every creature that has breath. Any questions on that
one?
We pray: Lord we
praise Your Holy Name. Amen
