Week 38 - Day 3

Nahum 1-3; Psalm 145

*Click here to read these passages:

I read through Psalm 145 several times today and each time something new kept popping out to me, and it basically came down to this – live a life of praise.

First of all – praise Him because He is worthy!  “Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; His greatness no one can fathom.”  God is good, He is gracious, He is compassionate, He is trustworthy, He is righteous.  He deserves our praise!

Praise Him because when we do, others will know of His love and glory.  “Your faithful people extol you.  They tell of the glory of your kingdom and speak of your might, so that all people may know of your mighty acts and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.”

Praise Him because He is near … because He wants to hear from His children and He wants to show us His love.  “The Lord is near to all who call on Him in truth.  He fulfills the desires to those who fear Him; He hears their cry and saves them.”

Praise Him every day, all the time.  It is so tempting and easy to fill our days with complaints when we should fill our days with praise.  “I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever and ever.  Every day I will praise you and extol your name for ever and ever.”

Exalt ~ Lift Him high
Praise ~ Bow down before Him
Extol ~ Boast about Him

Exalt … Praise … Extol … Every day forever and ever.
