Praise Ye the Lord

Psalms 149:1
Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.

Psalms 150:6
Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.

In every circumstance, we should praise the Lord. There is always something for which to be grateful.

How should He be praised?
With our hearts, mouths, and every instrument (Psalm 95:1; Ephesians 5:19; Psalm 71:23; Psalm 33:2).

When should He be praised?
Continually (Psalm 34:1). We should praise the Lord in all circumstances not just on Sunday morning.

Where should He be praise? Everywhere (Psalm 150)

Why should He be praised? For His excellent greatness and mighty power (Deut. 3:24)

Who should praise Him?
Everyone that breathes (Psalms 100:1; 150:6).

Praising the Lord helps us to re-center our thoughts and minds onto God. It helps us to set aside the worries and cares of this life. It helps remind us of what God has done for us. It helps to strengthen our faith.

What are you praising God for today?
