Something to do

The Psalmist says

The Psalmist states,

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.

Why not take sometime fight now to praise the Lord. You may not have any instruments or a great singing voice but everyone can praise The Lord in someway. Even if it’s simply saying the words silently or vocally.

Please think about it.

A Time to Praise

A Time to Praise.
Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying:
“Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you now dismiss your servant in peace. 
For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the sight of all people, a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel.” Luke 2:28-32.
Today is Easter Monday. The day after Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. A day in which we should be praising God for all he has done.
Shortly after Jesus was born, in accordance with the law, the parents of Jesus brought him to the temple to be dedicated to the Lord. As they did a man called Simeon approached them. Luke’s gospel records what happened.
“Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.  
It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.  
Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required, Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying: “Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you now dismiss your servant in peace. 
For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the sight of all people, a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel.” Luke 2:25-32.
Jesus at this time was only days old yet God showed Simeon Jesus was the Messiah. As a result he praised God.
As believers in Christ Jesus we need to take time to praise God. To give glory to God for His Salvation.
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.
Question, when was the last time you praised God outside of Church? When was the last time you raised your voice to praise God without the accompaniment of a praise recording or instruments?
Why not take a few minutes to do so now?
Please think about it.
