today's meditation (Ps.150) Praising the Lord

(Dear Lord Jesus, guide me and give me insight as I read and study Your word, and let it be the meditation of my heart...)

(Psalm 150:1-6) 

1   Praise the Lord!
     Praise God in His sanctuary;
     Praise Him in His mighty expanse.
2   Praise Him for His mighty deeds;
     Praise Him according to His excellent greatness.

3   Praise Him with trumpet sound;
     Praise Him with harp and lyre.
4   Praise Him with tambourine and dancing;
     Praise Him with stringed instruments and flute.
5   Praise Him with loud cymbals;
     Praise Him with resounding cymbals.
6   Everything that has breath shall praise the Lord.
     Praise the Lord!

TODAY'S THOUGHTS AND MEDITATION:

Recently, I came across my diaries and journals, from Junior High and college and into marriage... As I'm reading through these, I can see my spiritual journey and maturity as I learned to trust God more and more; and I'm amazed at how God has worked in my life.  He not only protected me from darkness, bad intentions and situations, He protected me from myself and molded and shaped me into who I am today.  God is not finished with me yet, but I am so very thankful that He has never given up on me and He never will.

Very simply, we should be praising God anytime, anywhere and everywhere, including church.  It is the simple act of expressing approval and admiration, which can be done through our actions and words, song and dance... And we should want to praise Him for everything He has done, is doing, and will do - for everything He does is great and excellent!  The Lord is mighty and mostly definitely worthy!
