Morning Thoughts – Responsibility of Praise

Responsibility of Praise

Did you know we have a responsibility related to Praising God?  Well we

do!  The Book of Psalm was the Hebrew song book (a book of Praise).

Down through the ages since the birth of Jesus, some of the elements of

Praise have been silenced.  Generations ago, people Praised God with

shouts of Joy, songs and yes (dare I say it) even dance.  Our generation

sings verses 1, 2, and 4 of a hymn and then sits quietly during the preaching

service.  Perhaps we don’t praise God as the Psalmist and the Jewish people

because the previous generation did not teach us how.  We are behind the

curve and need to get up to speed so we and the next generation will know

how to praise our God for His goodness, faithfulness, forgiveness and blessings.

The Psalmist wrote, “So we, Your people and sheep of Your pasture, Will

give You thanks forever; We will show forth Your praise to all generations.”

Psalm 79:13 (NKJV)
