Lifelong Praise

 

“I will praise the Lord all my life…-”

—Psalm 146:1b

As this new day begins, the sun rises in the sky. The warmth of the sun awakens all nature. Nature lifts leaf and bloom to praise the Creator.

Can we, privileged by God, special of all creation because Father, Son, and Holy Spirit proclaimed, “Let us make mankind in Our image”? Can we fail to join our minds and hearts and say with the Psalmist from Psalm 146:1-10?

Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord, my soul. I will praise the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.

Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save. When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing.

Blessed are those whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord their God. He is the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them—he remains faithful forever.

He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets prisoners free, the Lord gives sight to the blind, the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down, the Lord loves the righteous.

The Lord watches over the foreigner and sustains the fatherless and the widow, but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.

The Lord reigns forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations. Praise the Lord.

This day, and every day, let's join our hearts and voices and praise God from whom all blessings flow.
