A Psalm of Celebration

A Psalm of Joy

A Psalm of Honoring God

Psalm 150 is the final psalm

in the book of Psalms.

This psalm wants to

leap

into our heart

and

fire up

our enthusiasm for God.

Verse 1

Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary:

praise him in the firmament of his power.

This psalm encourages us - all of us - to praise God.

-

Verse 1 calls to us to praise God

wherever we are.

Verse 2

2 Praise him for his mighty acts:
praise him according to his excellent greatness.

So God is telling us to verbally

* Praise him for what he does.

And

* Praise him for who he is.

Verses 3-5

3 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.

4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.

5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.

Praise him with instruments - all kinds of instruments.

Praise him with dancing!

Psalm 68:1

Verse 6

6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord.
Praise ye the Lord.

Let everyone - without excuses - PRAISE GOD!

The last sentence says,

"YOU praise the Lord!"

This psalm encourages us

to be

creative about ways to praise God.

Let's find some way to praise him!

Such as -

with your words,

with clapping your hands,

with jumping up and down,

with twirling around!

Have FUN  praising  God!

That  reminds me of the children's song -

"If you are happy and you know it - clap your hands."

Well, this psalm makes me want to burst out,

"If you love God and you want to show it -
clap your hands!"

Sports Enthusiast

We get very excited

at a sports event or watching our children play sports -

but many Christians

don't know how to get excited as they praise God.

Let's be bold and

Let's let God see our enthusiasm for Him!
