From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, the Lord's name is to be praised. Psalm 113:3
During the course of the day, there are many things we find ourselves occupied with. Whether it’s our job, taking care of children, running errands. Our day can be fully booked with all sorts of things to do. Like me, I usually make a ‘to-do-list’ with the intention to complete it by the end of the day.
I would like to ask the question. During the course of the day, as we hurry along, going here, there and everywhere, how often do we stop and reflect on our Lord? How often do we stop and give Him praise? Do we even carve out time during the busyness of our day and make some time, just for Him?
Psalm 113 says, Praise the Lord! All ye servants of the Lord, go ahead and praise the Lord. Keep praising the Lord. Praise Him more and more! Despite how occupied we may be, we must stop or even while we are busy, we must remember to praise the Lord. Our scripture reference says, from the rising of the sun, unto the going down of the same, the Lord’s name is to be praised. He is so good! He is so kind! Why not praise Him? Think about it, the very breath that we breathe, the strength in our bodies to do all that we do, comes from Him.
When we think of the goodness of the Lord and all that He has done, what else can we do, but praise the Lord. We should praise the name of the Lord. We should tell of His wonderful works. Praise Him, for His name is a strong tower we can run into and are saved. Praise the Lord for He has been gracious and compassionate. We should praise the Lord because He is supreme, He is exalted over all the nations. We should praise the Lord because there is no one like the Lord our God. We should praise the Lord because He lifts the poor from the dust and exalts the helpless from the ashes and He seats them with princes. He gives children to the woman who has none and makes her a happy mother.
We should praise the Lord who sits high and looks low. We should praise the Lord for He manifests His presence, His glory among us. We should praise the Lord, simple because He is God and God alone. Who can compare to the Lord our God? As you go throughout the day, remember to praise the Lord, ye servants of the Lord.
Praise ye the Lord! Praise the name of the Lord!
