I SING PRAISES

Psalm 113:1-2  "Praise the Lord.  Praise, O servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord.  Let the name of the Lord be praised, now and forever more."

The glory of the Lord reigns down on His children when they begin to praise His name; when they let all of the burdens of the world, the weight of the regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow fall from their shoulders and lift their hands up to the Lord and begin to praise Him.  Praise Him, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lord, the Great I Am, for who He is, our Creator and the Creator of all things.  Everything created by the Lord was good.  As each day ended, the Word tells us that "God saw that it was good".  From the first day to the sixth day, all creation was good.  This is where we need to begin when we praise the Lord.  All things were created good. He created all things for His children to enjoy, for us to see His glorious creation, to see Him through this glory.

God is good to us all the time. He did not create us to be sad, to be worried, to be lacking, to be sick.  The world we live in, what was created good, has been clouded over by what man has done.  We, and we all take a share in this, have made this world, our earth what man wanted.  I say we all take a part in this, as how many times do you object to what is going on; really object?  So many have just taken a back seat and decided they could do nothing.  But what if we all got together and did something.....as one united force of Christian people; not divided by religion, race, theology, but joined by the fact that we all love the same Lord, Jesus Christ.  One voice, one thought on our minds, glorifying the Lord Jesus.

Do you not realize that thousands of voices singing praises to our Lord, singing praises to Jesus, thanking Him for our salvation, for the love that doesn't look at what we have or have not done, but a love that is just because He is love, drawing us all together in love.  When we worship our Lord, the enemy can't fight that.  He can try but he is overwhelmed when worship goes up to God and God's presence comes down to His children.  The enemy has to go as he cannot be where the Light of the Lord is;  darkness is dissolved in His Light.  Burdens are lifted in the Light of Jesus, people are healed as they begin to worship the Lord and He begins to touch them, giving them new life.  Depression leaves as the joy of the Lord comes into the spirits of those praising His Holy Name.  Peace falls upon each child of God when they no longer look at their circumstances but sing glory to the Giver of all blessings. Lifting up praises to the Lord is the only way to ease your heavy heart, no matter what you are going through, your problems are not too big for our God.  Our God can make these little problems.  Only the enemy makes your problems seem so big, God shows us in His power how little they really are.  He can take care of all, trust Him.  Trust Him as you worship Him, give Him glory for this day, for bringing you through your yesterdays so you can know His faithfulness.  Praise the Lord with all your heart, all your soul; let your spirit sing new songs of worship to the Lord.  Let your spirit flow with beautiful song from your heart, a new song that tells of the Lord's love for you, His blessings on you that have stirred up inside of you.  Let that song rise up to the Lord in glorious praise.

My Lord God, I sing praises to Your Name.  No words are adequate enough to thank You, to give You the honor I feel in my heart but my songs of love and worship will rise from my inner most being up to Your throne as I glorify You alone.  I worship You my King, my Beloved Lord.  There is nothing I would rather do than to sing praises to You, to give You all my love through song and worship; to show the world that it is beautiful to glorify You.  To teach others that worshiping You pleases You and gives You joy to see how much You are loved and honored.

This 30th day of October, 2011, my Lord, I sing praises to You.  I love You, my Lord. Thank You for loving me, for giving me life eternal with You. Thank You for Your presence.
