Sunday, September 18th - Psalm 117

Good Sunday Morning!

"Praise the Lord, all you nations; extol him, all you peoples.  For great is his love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.  Praise the Lord."  Psalm 117

Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Psalm 117: Sometimes, it's the simple and short things that make the most impact.  Praise the Lord for He is great, loving and faithful.

I usually can't type the whole Psalm in the blog, but today it is possible.  As Lisa said, sometimes it is the short and simple that "shout" at you!  I also think it is pretty interesting that this psalm fell to today in our schedule - Sunday - the Lord's Day - the day that we go to our gathering place and the Church praises and worships Him!  Praise the Lord!

I did a little research this morning on the phrase, "Praise the Lord".  The psalms are full of praise and worship and singing, but it isn't until Psalm 9 that the psalmist says, I will praise you , O Lord.  In Psalm 33 the phrase "Praise the Lord" is used for the first time and is used 37 times throughout the rest of the psalms.

Praise is important!  Worship is important!  Corporate worship (with fellow Christians) is important!  God love to hear our praise, our songs and receive our worship.  We serve an awesome God and HE is worthy of our praise!

Praise Him now and forever!  For great is His love and His faithfulness is forever! 

See you at church!  :o)
