Every Which Way We Can

 

Praise the LORD!

            Psalm 150. 1

(The Hebrew word for praise

means to make brilliant

           in sight and sound,

to commend,

to celebrate, to glory,

to shine, to give light to,

that in which one glories,

and an expression of admiration.

Praise is mentioned in this psalm

       13 times in six verses.

Have we even considered

   how to praise God today?

What has He placed in our hands

   not just to praise Him for

            but to praise Him with?

Where has He placed us

   to bring His name here

into our encounters

        and our conversations?

Praise is not just about

           what God does,

   but Who He is.)

O LORD,

We are so grateful for Your goodness

             to us.

But even more, Almighty One,

      we are so grateful for You.

Thank You for loving us so much.

Thank You for revealing Yourself

     to us in millions of ways.

Grant to us the words today

   to express our praise to You.

And may others not just hear,

  but get caught up

         in praising You too.
