Sing Praises!

Sing Praises!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who sing praise to your name, O Most High. In Jesus’ name, amen.

I know people who sing in the choir. I also know those who prefer just singing along with the choir while standing or seated with the rest of the congregation. And I also know people who sing only when they are alone. Whether a song leader, or one who is tone deaf, God hears all of our voices.

Psalm 92:1-5 (ESV) is about singing praises along with musical instruments.

“It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to sing praises to your name, O Most High;
to declare your steadfast love in the morning,
and your faithfulness by night,
to the music of the lute and the harp,
to the melody of the lyre.
For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work;
at the works of your hands I sing for joy.

How great are your works, O Lord!
Your thoughts are very deep! ”

Is your heart filled with praise? Stop now and think of a favorite God-honoring song. Hum or sing the song to the Lord. Give thanks.

Praise The Name?

Praise The Name?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who praise the name of the Lord. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Synonyms for the word “praise” include “adulation,” “tribute,” and “acclaim.”

Psalm 135:1-3 (ESV) uses the word “praise” three times in the first verse.

“Praise the Lord!
Praise the name of the Lord,
give praise, O servants of the Lord,
who stand in the house of the Lord,
in the courts of the house of our God!
Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good;
sing to his name, for it is pleasant!”

If there ever was a time to praise God, these verses call his people to praise him.

If you are alone or with other believers, take time to realize the Lord is good. Sing praises to his name.

King of all the Earth?

King of all the Earth?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who declare God is the king of all the earth. In Jesus’ name, amen.

When a person performs well, bosses and colleagues can praise him or her for their success. When a student writes well, he or she may receive a top “A” grade. Then the teacher may write an affirming note praising the student on paper, or praise the student from the front of class.

Psalm 47:5-7 is about praising God:

“God has gone up with a shout,
the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.

For God is the King of all the earth;
sing praises with a psalm!”
