“Praise the LORD! Praise God in His sanctuary. […] Everything that has breath shall praise the LORD. Praise the LORD!”—Psalm 150:1, 6 NASB
How can you develop a deep, personal relationship with God and dedicate your life to serving Him. The importance of praise is specifically associated with Psalm 150.
In these words, we are instructed about the interior life through exterior things. Instead of bottling up our thoughts and feelings, we should direct them as much as possible toward the praises of the Creator, both in instrumental music and music with words.
Just as the body of Christ was born of the Holy Spirit. The song of praise radiates by the Holy Spirit in the church. Remember the body is truly the tent of the soul, and has a living voice. It is good for our souls to sing praises to God through the voice. Praise is central to the life of every believer. The Bible commands us to praise the Lord. Praise His Name. Lift up your voice and give thanks. He is worthy!
Reflection: Compose your own psalm of praise to God for His goodness to you.
