TEXT:
Psalm 149:1-9
1:
Praise the Lord. Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of his
faithful people.
2:
Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the people of Zion be glad in their
King.
3:
Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with timbrel and
harp.
4:
For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory.
5:
Let his faithful people rejoice in this honor and sing for joy on their beds.
6:
May the praise of God be in their mouths and a double-edged sword in their
hands,
7:
to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,
8:
to bind their kings with fetters, their nobles with shackles of iron,
9:
to carry out the sentence written against them— this is the glory of all his
faithful people. Praise the Lord.
(New International Version Holy
Bible)
TOPIC:
GOD DELIGHTS IN THE PRAISES FROM HIS PEOPLE
The
Psalmist calls on God's people to offer Him praise and sing new songs unto Him
for He delights in such.
Our
songs draw favour from Him as He blesses us not only with salvation from the
consequences of sin but fights our battles and inflicts vengeance on our
enemies.
When
believers focus of praising their God either in the assembly of the saints or
on their beds, He is moved to hear their petitions, fights their battles and makes
their glory shine above their enemies.
Therefore,
it is worrisome to see some believers sing and praise God as if they were
compelled to do so which affects the mood of worshippers.
The
Psalmist calls on all of God's children to sing new songs wherever and whenever
we have opportunity to do so.
QUESTION:
How often do you sing praises which draw God's attention to your side to bless
you?
PRAYER:
Dear Father in heaven, let my praise and worship life be acceptable unto You,
in Jesus name I pray. Amen.
Remain
Blessed
