PRAISE YE THE LORD. (Part 10)
Psalm 150. Verses 1-6 read:
“Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness. Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp. Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals. Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord . Praise ye the Lord.”
God is calling for a world that is filled with praise, a world wherein all realms of His creation celebrate Him and wherein men deploy all forms of instruments to praise His great name. This is one of the means of crafting a world that is patterned after heaven, the place of God’s throne. The good news is that if all men do not respond to this call, you can personally create the heavenly environment of praise within your domain through a positive response. Each individual has a choice to make in this regard.
God calls for praise in His sanctuary: both in the collective sanctuary of the body of saints and in the individual sanctuary of the believer’s heart. He calls for praise in the firmament, which displays His power.
God defines the measure of praise we must render to Him. Our praise must be commensurate to His excellent greatness. Beloved, God’s praise can not be casual. It must be intentionally grand and glorious. God calls on believers to render praise on musical instruments; the trumpet, psaltery, harp, timbrel, organ, and cymbal. This is a combination of all instruments; the wind, pipe, string, horn, and percussion instruments. These instruments are meant to enrich the praise of the Most High.
In conclusion, God calls on everything that has breath to praise the Lord. Breath is the key tool of praise. It takes breath to sing, shout, dance, and play any musical instrument. Praise is meant for the living who have breath. Beloved, it is time to create our personal world of praise, where we encounter the greatness and wonders of God, credit Him for what He does, and celebrate Him for who He is. An atmosphere of praise creates a heavenly environment on earth, full of God’s blessings and goodness. Praise ye the Lord.
