Praise the Lord, O My Soul?

Praise the Lord, O My Soul?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who say praise the Lord, O my soul. In Jesus name, amen.

Matt Redman wrote the song “10,000 Reasons,” also known as “Bless the Lord.”

“Bless the Lord oh my soul
Oh my soul
Worship His Holy name
Sing like never before
Oh my soul
I’ll worship Your Holy name
The sun comes up
It’s a new day dawning
It’s time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass
And whatever lies before me
Let me be singing
When the evening comes”

Instead of having with the words, “Bless the Lord,” Psalm 146 has the words, “Praise the Lord, O my soul!”

The song and the psalm both worship the living God.

Psalm 146:1-2 (ESV) emphasizes praise.

“Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord, O my soul!
I will praise the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.”

Are you singing God’s praise with all of your being?

Will you be praising God for as long as you live?

Take time, now, to praise the Lord. Listen to 10,000 Reasons.

Fear and Bless?

Fear and Bless?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for “You who fear the Lord, bless the Lord.” In Jesus’ name, amen.

As the world celebrates Easter, let us remember those who do not have hope in a risen savior. Some have never heard. Others have made a conscious decision not to acknowledge God role in creation or his victory over death.

Psalm 135:19-21 (ESV) reminds us to bless the Lord.

“O house of Israel, bless the Lord!
O house of Aaron, bless the Lord!
O house of Levi, bless the Lord!
You who fear the Lord, bless the Lord!
Blessed be the Lord from Zion,
he who dwells in Jerusalem!
Praise the Lord!”

If you believe, give thanks for the resurrection and the life everlasting.

Will You Sing to the Lord As Long As You Live?

Will You Sing to the Lord As Long As You Live?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who will sing to you as long as they live. In Jesus’ name, amen.

John Newton’s “Amazing Grace” refers to a heavenly choir.

“When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.”

In Psalm 104:31-35 (ESV) God look causes the earth to tremble, and his touching mountains causes them to smoke. In verse 33, the psalmists and “Amazing Grace” have some ideas in common.

“May the glory of the Lord endure forever;
may the Lord rejoice in his works,
who looks on the earth and it trembles,
who touches the mountains and they smoke!
I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have being.
May my meditation be pleasing to him,
for I rejoice in the Lord.
Let sinners be consumed from the earth,
and let the wicked be no more!
Bless the Lord, O my soul!
Praise the Lord!”

Choose to live a godly life. Allow yourself to freely worship God. Sing now and forever more.
