Ever-Praising Lips

 

“I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.”

—Psalm 34:1

Have you ever worked with someone for a while and later thought, “There is not enough good things I can say about him or her”? You were so impressed with that individual that there was no limit to the good words that you might say about that person.

That’s what our relationship with God is like. He is so wonderful, so marvelous, so magnificent that there is absolutely no limit of the good things we can say about Him. Certainly the Psalmist agrees and has stated this very theme in Psalm 34:1:

I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.

The dictionary defines the word “extol” as “to praise enthusiastically, to praise highly, to glorify.” It seems very fitting that the Psalmist would use this word to describe how he felt about God.

Not only does the Psalmist intend to praise God enthusiastically, he plans to do so at all times. In fact, he declares that praise for God will always be on his lips.

As we begin a new day, we do well to praise God at all times. We do very well if we constantly remind ourselves, and others, how wonderful He is. He means everything to us. And, that, dear ones, is exactly as it should be.
