Hallelujah!" Psalm 150:6
I am pleased to report that my precious Hershey Pie is a Christian dog. That's right! Every time he enters his crate -- of his own free will, I might add -- I put on praise and worship music and Hershey settles right down. It soothes his doggy soul, and he rests peacefully while I am away.
We would be wise to fill our atmosphere with Christian music as well, and Psalm 147 gives us over 15 reasons why "It is a good thing to sing praise to our God."
Here are just a few:
He rebuilds
He heals
He has limitless strength
He puts the fallen on their feet again
He blesses our children
He makes our homes secure
He launches His promises earthward
When we praise Him, when we put our focus on Him and His greatness, and three mighty things happen. First, we forget about our troubles. Secondly, our faith is strengthened to believe in His power, and thirdly, "we get God's attention" (verse 11).
Imagine that -- God's attention on us and our hopes, dreams, families, fears, businesses, concerns...AMEN!
Put on some praise music today and get ready to receive all the promises He is launching your way!
PRAYER: Dear Lord, We praise Your mighty name today. It is a good thing to sing to You for You are worthy to receive it. We look to You as the Source of our joy, peace, protection, provision, and hope. Fill us with Your presence and thank You that every living thing, including our beloved pets, are commanded to praise You! In Jesus' name, AMEN~
