“You shall
eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the Lord your God, Who
has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame.—Joel 2:26
The book of Psalms title, in the Hebrew version of
the Old Testament, is translated “Hymns
of Praise.” For good reason, as it
has been called the most widely-used book of the Old Testament.
In reading the Psalms, allow your heart to soar in celebration as
you of God’s power, love, and creation itself.
The psalmist writes, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!” (Psalm 150:6). Believers
should continually praise the Lord for what He has done, for what He is doing
and for what He will do. Let our mouths
be continually filled with praise. Our
God is awesome!
When is the best time to praise the Lord? At sunrise?
At sunset? When a meal is prepared, or when children are tucked into
bed? The best time to praise the Lord is
all day, every day, with all of your heart.
Today, as you go about your business, as you
spend time with your loved ones, or marvel at the wonders of a beautiful
sunset, reflect on what the Lord has done for you, for yours, and for all of
His creation. And, every time you notice
a gift from the Giver of all things good, praise Him. Thank Him with a grateful heart because His
works are marvelous, His gifts are beyond understanding, and His love endures
forever.
Prayer—Thank
You Father for Your goodness in my life.
Lord, I love You and I thank You that all that You have made in creation
is just for me. Thank You Lord that You
love me so much to send Your Son so that I can be restored to You and enjoy all
Your good benefits. Lord I praise and thank You for everything, in Jesus
Name. Amen.
