PRAISING GOD, THE ALMIGHTY
Saturday, April 6, 2024Key Verse
“Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness” (Psalm 150:2).
Text —Psalm 160:1-6
Message
The psalms emphasize the importance of praising and worshiping God as the theme of praise pervades the psalms. In only six short verses, the author ends with a powerful chorus of praise in which we are prompted to express gratitude to the Lord 13 times. The verses begin with a call to action, urging everyone to glorify God and sing songs in His honour. The Scope of Praise reminds us that God’s vastness and might are beyond comprehension, and that He deserves our undivided attention. Finally, the reasons for thanks remind all Christians to praise and adore God for who He is and what He has done. These teachings urge us to concentrate on thanking and worshiping God, to recognize His magnificence and might, and to prioritize His praise in our lives.
Now join Fanny Crosby to sing;
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord,
Let the earth hear his voice!
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father through Jesus the Son
and give him the glory, great things he has done!
Quote
