Praise The Lord!

Psalm 150:1-6
I am always amazed at the enthusiasm of the crowd at an athletic event. People drive from miles away to attend. They are willing to pay money (sometimes a lot of money) for tickets, parking, and food. Many dress up in their favorite team’s hat and jersey. Some may even dress up in some funny costume related to their team. People bring signs, stand, shout, clap, and cheer—leaving no doubt which team they are a fan of.
Have you ever noticed this never happens in a church service? No worries about sitting in the front row. No one dresses up as their favorite Bible character. No one brings “Amen” or “Preach it, Pastor” signs to hold up during the sermon. Very seldom do people shout and cheer when a point is made in the sermon they agree with wholeheartedly. Why not?
Psalm 150 points out that our love and praise for God should not be contained. The writer reminds us that our lives, inside and outside the church, should be in continual praise for who God is and what He has done.
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!
