Praise the Lord! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty firmament! Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his surpassing greatness! Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe! Praise him with clanging cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals! Let everything that breathes praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! (Psalm 150)
Six verses. Six verses that explain who, what, when, where, and why of praising God. The what is Praise the Lord! Where is answered by our praising God in God's sanctuary and in His mighty firmament (the whole world!), Why is the fact that God has, is, and will do, mighty things (deeds) and as if we needed, yet more reason, "His surpassing greatness!" How? With trumpet sound, with lute, harp, tambourine, dance, strings, and pipe, clanging cymbals; make that LOUD clashing cymbals! (Already I hear people thinking, "We can't do that in our church!" Who? Everything that has breath (or breathes) should praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord!
PRAYER: Lord, let these six verses seep deep into my soul so that I may join all of Your creation praising You everywhere and with all things that make noise. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
Have a great and blessed day in the Lord!

P.S. Sorry this comes a bit late, as Nellie and I drove home from Houston at a late hour. My dad continues to hold on. He's eating some, preferring his desserts. (like his boy!), and is alert. He loves seeing all his family, especially Liam who makes him smile and laugh. Thank you for your prayers. e.v.
