Verses: Psalms 150: 1 - 6
Song inspired by the chapter: Song has been uploaded from YouTube.com and is not my original.
My thoughts about the
verses:
Take a look at your life
for just one moment. We all have that
one thing that we consider to be the most important person in our life. We may think that our parents are the most
important thing that we have in this life.
We may have a soulmate that we put before anything else. Our children may be the most cherished thing
that we have. We may have friends that
make us feel that our life is complete.
We spend a lot of our
time praising the most important thing in our life. We go out of our way to make them happy. We buy them gifts. We give them hugs and kisses. We dedicate ourselves to making sure that
they know how special they are to us.
We hope for love in
return. Yet, it doesn’t matter to us if
it is reciprocated. The thing that is
important to us is that we show our love to them. We are there for them no matter what
happens. We try our best to cheer them
up when they are down. We celebrate with
them when they are up. We keep them in
our hearts and mind all the time. No
matter what they are the one that we care for and others know it by the way we interact
with them.
Yet, I want us to stop a
moment and think upon this isn’t God the reason we have this special someone in
our life. Didn’t God help us find our soulmate? Were we not blessed with the parents we
have. Our children are the very gift of
God. It is God that brings friends in
our life.
Since God has done all
this for us are we really concentrating on who should be the most important
person in our life? We need to
reevaluate for a moment who we should be praising. When was the last time that you thanked God
for the special people in your life? When
was the last time that you praised God for the gifts that you have been given.
This Psalm makes it
clear that there should never be a time in our life that we do not lift up our
praises to God. God is worthy to be
praise. Praising God should be the most
important thing in our life. God has
given us more love and compassion than we can ever give a person. Knowing this we should offer our lives up as
a witness of Gods enduring love. We
should praise God in a way that the whole world knows we have the most important
thing in our life.
Praising God isn’t an
option. Is it an option for a soul mate
not to show love to their other half? Is
it an option to not love the friends that God has placed in your life? Is it an option to let that someone special
not feel loved? If these are not an
option then how it is we forget to offer up praises to the one that has given
this all to us.
We are to praise God
both morning and night. We are to praise
God today and forever. We are to praise
God in our low moments. We need to
praise God when we are in our best of times.
The next time that you feel the need to do something special for
someone, can I suggest that you give that praise to God first. When we praise God for the people in our life
we are thanking the one that has sent them.
We are also blessing the person that we love with our commitment of love
and praise to the greatest of all loves.
Prayer:
We praise you God. Hear our praises for they are for you. We lift our voices to sing praises to the one
on High. We lift our hands in praise to
you Dear God. We thank you for the
people that you have placed in our life.
Help us never forget that you are the light that guides us. Help us to always remember to praise you no
matter what is happening. For we know
God that you are always there. In praise
we call upon your Holy Name. Amen
Questions:
Have you thanked God for
the special people in your life? Are you
praising God with all of your heart, soul and mind? Are you worshipping the one that has made you
whole? Is today the day that you start
praising God above all other things?
