Psalm 149:1-4 (HCSB)
1 Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD a new song, His praise in the assembly of the godly.
2 Let Israel celebrate its Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.
3 Let them praise His name with dancing and make music to Him with tambourine and lyre.
4 For Yahweh takes pleasure in His people; He adorns the humble with salvation.
Observation:
There is nothing that stirs the soul, and lifts the spirits of a person like singing; especially when the object of our praise is the Lord.
The children of God have a reason to sing praise to the Lord. The focal passage for today tells us three reasons.
- God is Savior
- God is Maker
- God is King
There are also two benefits that are derived from singing praises to the Lord.
- Praise pleases God.
- Praise benefits God's people.
Psalm 149:4 (HCSB)
4 For Yahweh takes pleasure in His people; He adorns the humble with salvation.
If you know the Lord, and He knows You, why not open your mouth and give the Lord the praise, honor, and the glory that He alone deserves.
Psalm 35:27 (HCSB)
27 Let those who want my vindication shout for joy and be glad; let them continually say, "The LORD be exalted. He takes pleasure in His servant's well-being."
Prayer:
Hallelujah! Father, we rejoice to sing praises to You, and give You glory for being our Savior, Maker, and King.
Father, we are so blessed in knowing that our praises please You, and so thankful that when our praises go up to You, the blessings come down to Your people. Father, may our hearts and mouths never cease to give You praise. In the mighty name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
Isaiah 55:11 (KJV)
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
