Psalm 135:1-3:
1 Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!) Praise the name of the Lord; praise Him, O you servants of the Lord!2 You who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God,3 Praise the Lord! For the Lord is good; sing praises to His name, for He is gracious and lovely!
This Psalm was written during the time of the Old Covenant, when the people of Israel were looking longingly forward to the coming of Messiah! They were praising the Lord for all the wonderful things He had done! Do you not think that we, with our new and better Covenant (Hebrews 8:6), who can look BACK to the Messiah Who has already come, should be praising Him even more? SO MUCH more? Not only do we have a better Covenant, BUT, we no longer have to GO to the House of the Lord to praise Him! We ARE the house of the Lord (1 Corinthians 3:16)! HALLELUJAH! Do you take daily advantage of this priceless privilege? We are told to go boldly to the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16), and we don't have to go any farther than where we are RIGHT NOW! GLORY TO GOD! Thank YOU, Jesus! We are, of ALL people, MOST BLESSED! So let's praise Him for it! AMEN! Here are two songs, one old and one newer, by Hillsong. The first is "God Is In The House" (that's US!) and the second is "Praise Him":
Shalom in Him!
