I WILL PRAISE THE LORD

 I WILL PRAISE THE LORD

Ps. 103:22 Praise the LORD, everything he has created, everywhere in his kingdom. As for me—I too, will praise the LORD. NLT

Everything that God has created sings forth His praises. The Psalmist declares that the heavens declare His praises. The majesty and magnitude of what we can see declares that God is and are an anthem of praise to Him. The smallest of those things we can see declare that God is and sing forth His praises. The ocean depths and all that is in them declare that God is and sing forth His praises. The order of all that is sings forth His praises. The laws that govern creation sing forth His praises. The way that God provides food for all living things sing forth His praises.

Everything in His kingdom sings forth His praises. The angels—cherubim and seraphim, and all of heaven's choir sing forth His praises. God's plan of redemption conceived in His heart and carried out by Christ sings forth His praises. God's grace and mercy extended to the heart of man sing forth His praises. God's blessings bestowed upon His children sing forth His praises. Everything everywhere in His kingdom sings forth the praises of God.

As for me, I too will sing forth His praises. I praise Him for I know Him and will be with Him forever and ever. I praise Him for His constant companionship. I praise Him for all He is doing in my life to make and keep me holy before Him. I praise Him for the work He is doing through me and for the rewards awaiting me in heaven someday. I praise Him for He is my Savior, my Lord, and my God, and He alone is worthy to be praised. I praise Him for His loving patience with me on my life journey. I praise Him for He is the certainty of my hope for both now and forever. “Praise the Lord, oh my soul, and all that is within me, praise His holy name.”
