An Orchestra Of Praise Psalm.150:1-6

Christian Life

The hymn book of the Bible is the book of Psalms, and the last psalm summarizes what God wants us to know about praise and worship. The Christian faith is a singing and praising faith. No other religion has praises and singing such as we have. Because we have the song of the Lord in our hearts. The Psalmist answers some important questions about praise in this psalm. Who is it that we praise? “Praise the Lord” (v.1)—not the church, not the preacher, but the Lord. Our problem is that we often don’t see the Lord. We look at gifts or lack of gift from God. We don’t really see Him. Let’s get beyond the gift to the Giver. Let’s get beyond the blessing to the Blesser. Let’s praise the Lord. “Rejoice in the Lord.” Paul said, “Again I will say, rejoice!” (.Phil.4:4). Where do we praise Him? Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in His mighty firmament (v.1). What an interesting combination. When we praise God in church, it is just like the praise of the angels in heaven. In the sanctuary or wherever we are, let’s praise Him. Why do we praise him? Praise Him for His mighty acts; praise Him according to His excellent greatness! (v.2). We praise Him for what He is and for what He does. How do we praise him? With the sound of the trumpet etc., ...(vv.4,5). The Psalmist saying, get the whole orchestra together. Find every instrument you can, and let’s praise the Lord. We are commanded here to praise Him and to make a loud song to His glory. *******^******* All of nature is praising God today, but His people are prone to forget to praise Him. Ask yourself these praises question of Psalm 150 and then meditate on the Psalmist answers. You have much for which to give praise. Bring joy to God’s heart by praising Him.
