LET THE PEOPLE PRAISE
Key Passage: Psalm 67: 3 - 7
Let the peoples praise You, O God; Let all the peoples praise You. Oh, let the nations be glad and sing for joy! For You shall judge the people righteously, And govern the nations on earth. Let the peoples praise You, O God; Let all the peoples praise You. Then the earth shall yield her increase; God, our own God, shall bless us. God shall bless us, And all the ends of the earth shall fear Him.
Praise is the cheer, accolade, honor, adoration and worship we give to God for His goodness, His mercies, His love, His majesty, and His power. It is the _expression we give in songs, words and attitude to adore, exalt and honor God for who He is and for all His wonderful works.
God is good to all. His love is incomparable and His mercy is everlasting. His promises are sure. He does not fail those who put their trust in Him. He is the great King of all the earth and He rules in righteousness, justice and truth. He deserves that all people should praise Him.
God commands all the people in all the nations of the world to praise Him. “For He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust” (Matt 5:45). He also commands His people to praise Him – those He has redeemed from Satan and sin and called His own: “This people I have formed for Myself; they shall declare My praise” (Is 43:21).
God must bless when praise rise, because praise provokes Him to action. Many times the hands of God are tied by the sinfulness, the unfaithfulness and ungratefulness of men. Sometimes, the curses, yokes and bondages that cripple many from receiving from a perfect God hold Him back. But praise unties God’s hands and releases His miracle working power that breaks yokes and tears down the walls of hindrances. “Then the earth shall yield her increase” and the desired blessings shall flow down unhindered.
What should you then do? Praise! Praise God. Tell of His goodness, love and faithfulness. Sing! Shout! Dance! And make joyful melodies to God and you shall experience His wonder working power in your life. Begin to praise and you will begin to triumph. “And all the ends of the earth shall fear Him.” Praise the Lord!
Pray: Lord I will praise You and I will never cease.
