SING THE LORD'S PRAISES

 SING THE LORD’S PRAISES

I Chron. 16:9 “Sing to him; yes, sing his praises. Tell everyone about his miracles.”

This is a message for all people through all ages. It is good and proper to sing praises unto our God. It is good to recall and proclaim the many miracles He has done.

Consider with me for a few moments things to praise Him for. Praise the Lord for His relentless love for us. He never stopped loving us while we were still living in sin. He does not stop loving us when we mess up and sin against Him. He loves us and stays involved in our lives. He supports us, guides us, encourages us, empowers us, protects us, equips us, uses us, prays for us, disciplines us, teaches us, and works all things out in our lives for our good and His glory. Praise the Lord, our God, now and forevermore!

Consider with me for a few moments the miracles He has done. Read through the history of the nation of Israel and over and over again God miraculously helps them and saves them, even when they turned away from Him and followed the wickedness of their hearts. It is indeed a miracle that God preserves His name on the earth. It is a miracle that God loves us and chooses to be our Savior and Lord. It is a miracle that He gives us the Holy Spirit to ensure that we make it home to heaven. Creation is a wondrous miracle to behold. It is a miracle that God gives us access to Him through the shed blood of Christ on Calvary. It is a miracle that God hears and answers the prayers of His people. It is a miracle that God chooses certain people to do certain tasks in His kingdom, tasks that they are perfectly suited to do.

Let your heart sing forth His praises today! “Praise the Lord, o my soul, and all that is within me, praise His holy name.”
