I just read Psalm 150. I must say that since the start of school it has been a struggle to have my daily devotion. This one really hit home. In Psalms 150....the very last chapter of the book it ends with the ways to praise God....It is like the last chapter is a call to praise God.....how fitting seeing as the name Psalm means praise.
Read the little commentary part in the Bible about this chapter...one thing really struck me...the last verse Psalm 150:6....
It talks about the one reason we should praise God is b/c He is the one who has breathed life into us! I think so many times we forget to praise God for things...Especially when life is busy...or things are hectic...remember though no matter the circumstance to praise God....His will is to be done and for that as a Christian I can be thankful!
Psalm 96 : " 11 Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice! Let the sea and everything in it shout his praise! 12 Let the fields and their crops burst out with joy! Let the trees of the forest rustle with praise"
If even nature itself rejoices in God...how much more should we who were made in His image celebrate with every breath the One we were made after and formed us!
So rejoice on this day! ( I know one lady for sure who has a reason to rejoice on this day, Jude)

Thank you for this reminder Josh
How often are we caught up in the day to day events that we often forget to give thanks to God for all the blessings that sometimes go un-noticed.
Giving thanks and praising the Lord is something that we should be honored and humbled to do.
He who has given so much and yet asks for so little
So today, I am reminded because of you, to sing unto the Lord, a song of spirit, in praise and in revelry, for He has made my heart rejoice.
You need to blog more often! {wink} Your thoughts are perfect for me this week...I was a bum. Crabby and down and really it was a struggle some days. I have to remind myself that it's NOT about me...but ALL about Him and His ways are perfect no matter how I feel or what my circumstances may be. He is worthy of my praise...ALL my praise...all of the time.
