Shalom,

Today in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan we read Psalm 150. I ALWAYS post this Psalm when we get to it twice a year because I LOVE it! 

Psalm 150
1 Praise the Lord! Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in the heavens of His power!
2 Praise Him for His mighty acts; praise Him according to the abundance of His greatness!
3 Praise Him with trumpet sound; praise Him with lute and harp!
4 Praise Him with tambourine and [single or group] dance; praise Him with stringed and wind instruments or flutes!
5 Praise Him with resounding cymbals; praise Him with loud clashing cymbals!
6 Let everything that has breath and every breath of life praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)

What does this Psalm reveal to us? It reveals that there are a multitude of ways to PRAISE the LORD! The word "praise" is found 13 times in this Psalm and every one of them is the Hebrew word "halal". Strong's Concordance says: to be clear, to shine, to make a show, to boast, to be clamorously foolish, to rave, to celebrate, to 'stultify' (which means ti make or appear to be foolish or ridiculous). Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew Lexicon says: to shine, to flash forth light, to boast, to be boastful, to glory, to act like a madman. Now, the question is, when was the last time that YOU actually did PRAISE THE LORD according to the REAL definition of the word? I challenge you to up your praise game! Make a conscious effort to REALLY be a DOER of this word in both your private PRAISE time AND in your Church service! HE is WORTHY of it ALL! HALLELUJAH! (Which literally means to Praise GOD)! Here is a fun new song to help you do so! Elevation Worship with "PRAISE":

Shalom in Him!
