Praise the Lord
Psa 150:6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.That would qualify you and me! In fact, some people say that I have TOO much breath in me, because once I start talking, I can’t stop!
I read the last chapter and verse of Psalms today, and got really convicted that I waste so much of my breath on meaningless discussions, whereas, I could be praising the very God that put breath in me.
Why should I praise the Lord?
Of course, you mean other than because the Word of God tells me to (re-read Ps. 150:6), and besides the fact that Christ died for my salvation.
I want to praise my Lord because when I do so, I find it draws me closer to Him. It feeds my Sprit with joy and peace. I also find I smile more often when I praise and worship Him. It's even contagious. Ever noticed how when one person starts praising the Lord in church, it doesn’t take long before everyone starts talking about His goodness.
So question is, why NOT praise the Lord.

I know first hand how hard it is to maintain a joyful praising attitude when everything around is going contrary.
It helps to remind ourselves of the need to praise him in all things at all times.

Same here as what consecrated said in the first paragraph.
I force myself to look for the blessings in everything, just to find there are so many, even when things/situations seemingly are the opposite! It makes me humbled and yes...praising Him for all His love!
Have a wonderful weekend, filled with many blessings!
God's Grace.

It seems to me the more I praise Him, the more joy I feel, too. Praise is indeed contagious. Great post!
