Psalm 148:13-14 "Let them praise the
name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth
and heaven. (14) He also exalteth the horn of his people, the
praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto
him. Praise ye the LORD."
Many people can speak easily concerning their favorite ball player, their favorite actor, their favorite entertainer. But we cannot always speak easily of our Lord. I wonder why that is. Why do we sometimes feel uncomfortable speaking of the grace of God. There is only one name that is truly worthy of our praise and honor. We show respect to others, but pure honor and praise belongs unto our Lord. His glory is above all others and yet we do not always speak of Him with the same excitement as we speak of people who have excelled in their particular areas of expertise. This morning, stop and think upon your relationship with God. How is it?
He exalts the horn, or the seat of power, of His people. What is the seat of power that belongs unto us as the children of God? Verse 14 tells us that our power is found and magnified as we praise God. The more we praise God, the more we are able to overcome the wiles of Satan. The more we exalt our Lord, the more aware we are of His presence in our lives.
Have you ever come to the place where you feel all alone? I would submit to all that when we come to that place, we should stop and take inventory of our "praise life". How much time do we spend giving praise unto the Lord for all His blessings that are given day by day? "Praise ye the LORD."
