Worship for Today: Praise the Lord!

The Lord is awe-inspiring, fearsome, fascinating, intriguing,
majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of
him in Psalm 148:1,

"Praise the Lord..."

In this beautiful psalm of worship all are invited to praise the Lord.
This psalm is sweeping in its invitation. It goes out to the heavens
above, to all his angels and all of his heavenly hosts. Even the sun,
moon, and stars, the heavens and clouds are invited to praise him -
because they were created by him. Earth creatures are also invited to
worship, sea creatures, the meteorological elements, mountains, trees,
wild animals, cattle, insects and birds, kings and all the rulers on
earth, young men and maidens, old men and children.

The cause for the invitation of worship is the Lord's transcendent
name and splendor, verse 13. He is also to be praised because he has
"raised up for his people a horn, the praise of all his saints..."
Verse 14. This is none other than Jesus Christ who will come to planet
earth to provide a way into God's family!

Anything of the Lord capture your heart from Scripture today? Share
your thoughts of worship with us from your Bible reading today. We'd
love to hear from you!
