Praise God!

“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.” (Rev 4:11)

Reasons to praise God

There are many compelling reasons to give glory, honor, and praise to God. First, it is because of who He is—He is God, and that alone is reason enough! He is the Creator who made everything that exists—the universe and its trillions of stars and planets, which He calls by name (Psalm 147:4); the world and everything in it, including you. He is worthy and deserves praise! Additionally, praise Him because He is present when you do; “He inhabits the praises of His people” (Psalm 22:3 and Psalm 109:4).

Psalms 150 tells us where, why, and how, to praise God

·      Praise Him in His sanctuary

“Praise the Lord! Praise God in his sanctuary.” (Psalms 150:1a NIV)

·      Praise Him in His mighty heavens

Praise him in his mighty heavens!” (Psalms 150:1b NIV)

“Praise him for his mighty deeds.” (Psalms 150 2a NIV)

·      Praise Him for His excellent greatness 

“Praise him according to his excellent greatness!” (Psalms 150:2b NIV)

·      Praise Him with music and dance

“Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe! Praise him with sounding cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals!” (Psalms 150:3-5 NIV)

Therefore

“Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!” (Psalms 150:6a NIV)

“Praise the Lord.” (Psalms 150:6b NIV)
