Psalm 150:1-2 "Praise ye the LORD.
Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
(2) Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his
excellent greatness." (6) Let every thing that hath
breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD."
Today, we conclude our study of the Psalms. It has been a good journey for me and I truly believe it has helped inspire me to grow stronger in my devotion and love for my Lord. I pray it has done the same for you.
It's only appropriate that the Psalms conclude with the conclusion of the whole matter: The LORD is worthy of our praise. Verses one and two speak to us of praising God wherever we are. Whether we are in the sanctuary for public worship or walking down the street, we are to praise the Lord. Walking down a lonely road, we may be overcome with a need for praise. As the old saying goes, Let it rip! Sing to the top of your voice that our God is good and His mercy endures forever. You may think it's only going into the air, but I believe every energy of praise ascends before the Lord's throne. He hears it all. Praise Him!
Between verse 2 and verse 6, we are told to use everything at our disposal to praise God. There is nothing off limits in praising our Lord. There may be some of those instruments that are not our favorite sound. If that be the case, then use what you have and are capable of using in giving praise to the Lord. But at the same time, do not condemn someone else for using their talents on an instrument that they are capable of using.
I close our study of the Psalms with the same thought as the Psalmist: "Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD."
