Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands! Serve the LORD with gladness; Come before His presence with singing. Know that the LORD, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations. Psalm 100
Praise is such a beautiful element of life in Christ. We belong to Jesus and always will have praises to bring Him. What I have noticed about praise is giving thanks brings a lightness to one’s soul and a freshness to the day. Is not something that automatically happens all the time, as well as our spirits naturally rise up in praise, we are able to create spaces for celebrating the Lord. As you invest in praising Jesus, how delighted the Lord is. What happens if we don’t praise? Rocks will cry out. All creation praises God. “He replied, “If they kept quiet, the stones along the road would burst into cheers!””Luke 19:10 Jesus didn’t want people to hold back their praise for God. At the last supper, before they left the upper room, Jesus and the disciples sung a hymn. Before all that happened, they praised God. If we are to be ready for whatever the Lord has ahead, praise is the key. Blessing Jesus is our life as believers.
What song of praise resonates with you today?
How have you felt God’s presence and grace as you celebrate Jesus?
Lord Jesus, whatever is happening, you are worthy of all the praises. Help me be prepared for anything because I’m praising you Lord, in spontaneous wonder and also intentionally.
