Psalm 150



Psalm 150

-

A Psalm of Celebration

A Psalm of Joy

A Psalm of Honoring God




Psalm 150 is the final psalm

in the book of Psalms.


This psalm wants to

leap

into our heart

and fire up

our enthusiasm for God.


In Psalm 150

God is telling us to create celebrations of Joy

honoring him.


Verse 1


Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary:


praise him in the firmament of his power.


This psalm encourages us - all of us - to praise God.

-

Verse 1 calls to us to praise God

wherever we are.




Verse 2


2 Praise him for his mighty acts:
praise him according to his excellent greatness.


So God is telling us to verbally

* Praise him for what he does.

And

* Praise him for who he is.




Great is the Lord,
and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.

Psalm 145:3 KJV

And they sing the song of Moses
the servant of God,
and the song of the Lamb,
saying,
Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty;
just and true are thy ways,
thou King of saints.

Revelation 15:3 KJV


Verses 3-5


3 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.

4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.

5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.


Praise him with instruments - all kinds of instruments.

Praise him with dancing!

Find something to praise God with!

Make a JOYful noise

unto the Lord.

Psalm 100:1a

Allow your heart to

EXPLODE

with

PRAISE

to GOD!


Here are a Bunch of People

having a Bunch of Fun

Praising God!

Psalm 68:1





Verse 6


6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord.
Praise ye the Lord.

Let everyone - without excuses - PRAISE GOD!

The last sentence says,

"YOU praise the Lord!"

~ ~

This psalm encourages us to be
creative about ways to praise God.


Let's find some way to praise him!

Such as -

with your words,

with clapping your hands,

with jumping up and down,

with twirling around!


Have FUN  praising  God!


That  reminds me of the children's song -

"If you are happy and you know it - clap your hands."

Well, this psalm makes me want to burst out,

"If you love God and you want to show it -
clap your hands!"

Sports Enthusiast

We get very excited at a sports event or watching our children play sports - but many Christians don't know how to get excited as they praise God.

~ ~

Let's be bold and

let our praise -  burst -  out of us.

- -

Let's let God see our enthusiasm for Him!


Express JOY!

And every creature which is in heaven,
and on the earth, and under the earth,
and such as are in the sea,
and all that are in them,
heard I saying,

Blessing, and honour, and
glory, and power,
be unto him that sitteth upon the throne,
and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

Revelation 5:13 KJV



Hebrews 13:15 NCV

So through Jesus

let us always offer to God

our sacrifice of praise,

coming from lips

that speak his name.
