Time to praise God

 Time to praise God

“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 trumpet, 

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 cymbals. 

Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. 

Praise the LORD.” 

                                      Psalm 150

As believers in God. As believers in Christ Jesus we need to take time each day to Praise God not just listen to prerecorded praise music. We need to participate in worship. 

Prerecorded music is good but we should be taking time to use our voice to praise God. The psalmist tells us to praise God with instruments and dancing.

Do you do this?

Why or why not?

Please think about it.

About Worship

The Psalmist writes,

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 trumpet,

 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 cymbals. 

Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. 

Praise the LORD. 

                                      Psalm 150.

I am a believer in Christ Jesus. I believe that He is God incarnate, God in the flesh. I also think (myself included) that those who believe in God don’t worship Him enough.

Many Christians put on worship music in the car or in their house but they listen to it rather than use it to personally praise God.

If you consider yourself a true believer in God, in Christ Jesus, why not take sometime right now to praise and worship God from your heart.

Please think about it.

True Worshippers

True Worshippers
Jesus said,
“Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.  
God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.” John 4:23-24.
Are you a true worshipper? Do you truly worship God in spirit and in truth? These are questions only you can answer.
God in the book of Exodus states,
“You shall have no other gods before me.” Exodus 20:3.
In the book of Joshua we read,
“Now fear the LORD and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your forefathers worshiped beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD.   Joshua 24:14.
If we consider ourselves true followers of Christ Jesus, we must examine our lives and ask ourselves in no uncertain terms if we are truly worshipping God in spirit and in truth.
We must ask ourselves the question am I putting anything or anyone ahead of God? We must ask, Am I mixing my faith with anything else, politics, philosophy, anything?
So my questions to you the reader are,
Do you put anything ahead of God?
Are you mixing your belief in God with anything?
Are you truly worshipping God in spirit and in truth?
Please think about it.

Shout to the Earth!

Shout all the earth!
The Psalmist writes,

“Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. 

Worship the LORD with gladness; 

come before him with joyful songs. 

Know that the LORD is God. 

It is he who made us, 

and we are his; we are his people, 

the sheep of his pasture. 

Enter his gates with thanksgiving 

and his courts with praise; 

give thanks to him and praise his name. 

For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; 

his faithfulness continues through all generations.” 

                                                                       Psalm 100:1-5.

As a believer in God and Christ Jesus. I like this psalm. It calls on the believer to praise God. It reminds us all believers belong to God. That we are made in the image of God. We are His people. It states,

“For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; 

his faithfulness continues through all generations.” 

                                                                            Psalm 100:5.

Thus I have two questions if you are a believer in God.
1/ Do you believe what this psalm is saying?
2/ Do you enter regularly into God presence with praise?
Please think about it.

More than the watchman

More than the watchman
Jesus speaking to a Samaritan woman said,
“Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.  
God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.” John 4:23-24.
Do you worship God in spirit and in truth?
Do you take time to worship God daily?
Why do you go to church?
It’s easy to go to church sit down enjoy the music and the sermon. To socialize with friends. But if all you go to church for is to “enjoy” the music and sermon, and to socialize with friends that is entertainment.
As believers in Christ Jesus we are called to worship God in “spirit and in truth”.
Being a believer in Christ Jesus is a lifestyle that incorporates worshipping God daily. It is a longing in our heart to serve God wherever we may be. Be it in our home, at work, in our neighbourhood or at church.
The Psalmist writes,

“I wait for the LORD, 

My soul waits, and in His word I put my hope. 

My soul waits for the Lord

 more than the watchmen wait for morning, 

more than the watchmen wait for morning” 

                                                       Psalm 130:5,6.

If you claim to be a believer in Christ Jesus do you wait for the Lord more than the watchmen wait for morning?
