TEXT: Psalm
104:1-23
1.
Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, you are very great. You are clothed
with honor and mighty,
2.
wrapped in the light as with a garment. You stretch out the heavens like a
tent,
3. you
set the beams of your chambers on the waters, you make the clouds your chariot,
you ride on the wings of the wind,
4. you
make the winds your messengers, fire and flame your ministers.
5. You
set the earth on its foundations, so that it shall never be shaken.
6. You
cover it with the deep as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.
7. At
your rebuke they flee; at the sound of your thunder they take to fight.
8.
They rose up to the mountains, ran down to the valleys to the place that you
appointed to them.
9. You
set a boundary that they may not pass, so that they might not again cover the
earth.
10. You
make springs gush forth in the valleys; they flow between the hills,
11.
giving
drink to every wild animals; the wild asses quench their thirst.
12. By
the streams the birds of the air have their habitation; they sing among the
branches.
13.
From your lofty abode you water the mountains; the earth is satisfied with the fruit
of your work.
14. You
cause the grass to grow for the cattle, and plants for people to use, to bring
forth food from the earth,
15. and
wine to gladden the human heart, oil to make the face shine, and bread to
strengthen the human heart.
16. The
trees of the Lord are watered abundantly, the cedars of Lebanon that he
planted.
17. In
them the birds build their nests; the stork has its home in the fir trees.
18. The
high mountains are for the wild goats; the rocks are a refuge for the coneys.
19. You
have made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows its time for setting.
20. You
make darkness, and it is night, when all the animals of the forest come
creeping out.
21. The
young lions roar for their prey, seeking their food from God.
22.
When the sun rises, they withdraw and lie down in their dens.
23.
People go out to their work and to their labor until the evening.
(New
Revised Standard Version Holy Bible)
TOPIC: WHY
SHOULD WE PRAISE GOD?
In virtually every tribe and
community, people worship one god or the other. But none of them can be
compared to the Almighty God. This God is the one that is worthy of our praise.
Some of the reasons we need
to praise Him include the following: He is robed with honor and majesty,
dressed in a robe of light, made the heavens, placed the world on its
foundation, created water, mountains, thunder, sun and moon, provides water and
food for people, meets the needs of animals and all that He created and puts
everything in place.
Just meditate on these as
you pray and your prayer life will be more result-oriented as you praise God.
QUESTION: Do
you know that you can honor God by praising Him for who He is?
PRAYER: Father, let me never cease to praise You every day of my life.
Remain
Blessed
