Praise The Lord!

"Praise Him in the firmament of His power" (Psalm 150:1 KJV)

Throughout the Bible there are verses of Scripture in which the Lord is praised, especially in the Psalms. We are called to offer sacrifices of praise to the Lord (Hebrews 13:15). God does not want us to withhold our praise. We must understand that praise is key in overcoming the troubles of this world. Praising the Lord, effects so much more than we realize; praising the Lord not only exalts God and His goodness, but destroys barriers, removes obstacles, opens doors into the spiritual realm, draws God’s blessings into manifestation, changes circumstances, influences the atmosphere, activates the spirit world and causes the ‘praiser’ to triumph. Coming into God’s presence with praise is the essence to deliverance. 

We see in Revelation 5:8-9 that even those who dwell in heaven during the Great Tribulation are seen praising the Lord. Praising God is not optional; it is actually a direct command of God (Psalm 150:6). God expects us to serve Him with gladness and joy in our hearts. When we do, we cannot help but offer up our praises to Him. Even when we think that there is no reason to praise God, we must still praise the Lord because He is worthy to be praised (Psalm 34:1; 96:4). Our God deserves our praise and He desires our praise. Our praises please God, so let us praise Him now...
