Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord! Psalm 150:6
Today’s Psalm is just six verses but they are all about praising the Lord with everything and everywhere. It’s easy to praise the Lord when things are going great, not so much when they are not. Yet several times Scripture reminds us that at all times and in all things we are to praise the Lord.
Lately when I think of this Psalm, I can’t help but think about the people who are going through those difficult seasons. The fires in California, the flooding and now snow down South, plane crashes, health issues and so many other things that destroy lives and relationships.
Praising the Lord might not be easy, but not impossible when we realize it’s only through Holy Spirit that it can be done. It’s times like these that we can come along side of those who are finding it difficult to praise the Lord. We can help them draw on the only One who can help them by praising Him for them and asking Holy Spirit to minister to them. To them He will become their Comforter and Healer and as they heal they will be able to begin to praise Him themselves. And their praise will set them and all those around them free! Praise the Lord!
