“凡有气息的，都要赞美耶和华。你们要赞美耶和华。”
诗篇 150:6
“Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD!”
Psalms 150:6
Many experience 'Monday blues' when it comes to Monday, not feeling that there is anything that is worthy to give thanks about.
How about finding simple things such as being able to wake up safely in the morning? Having your loved ones still around? Having eyes to see, ears to hear? Having friends who truly care for you still around you, within reach of a phone call, a text, whatsapp or Facebook messenger?
How do you then praise God and give thanks to Him? In Psalm 150, the psalmist invites “everything that has breath” to celebrate and praise the Lord in many different ways. He suggests that we use trumpets and harps, stringed instruments and pipes, cymbals and dancing. He encourages us to creatively and passionately celebrate, honor, and adore the Lord.
He is worthy of all praise. These outward expressions of praise will come from an inner wellspring overflowing with gratitude to God. We can celebrate the Lord in different ways, expressive and meaningful.
How has this psalm challenged you to be more expressive in your praise to God? Spend some time thinking about what He has done in your life. Then give Him your praise.
Praise is the song of a soul set free.
