May 5 Psalms 139, 145, 148, 150 Praise the LORD!

It is difficult to do today's readings and not want to get up and shout to God His praises!!!!!!

In Psalm 148, the psalmist says, "Let them praise the LORD for He commanded and they were created." Because God is our Creator, all creation owes Him praise, honor, and glory.

In Romans 1:21, Paul says, "For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to Him." Paul is laying out the cause of sin in the world at its root base - not glorifying and thanking God - willfully!!!! Paul says that nature leads one to glorify and thank God -  Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities-- his eternal power and divine nature-- have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

People, go to church today and rise up and shout to God in praise - do it exuberantly and unrestrained - not contrived emotionalism to put on a show - but real glorification and thanksgiving due our God.

Praise the LORD!
