Psalms 146:1-2
Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord, O my soul!
I will praise the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
Tag: Made to Praise
We have been created to praise God. These final chapters of the book of Psalms are praise hymns we are to sing to our God. We are to be in constant praise. It is hard for us to even go moments, or a day in praise to Him. We tend to want to ask things of Him and not just want to lift up praise for Who He is. Or, worse, we simply go through out day without talking to Him at all. We are so busy with our lives and building our own kingdoms and worried about our own lives, we forget that the purpose of our lives is to worship and praise the King of Kings. We are made to praise Him. We are created to worship the God of the universe. Yet, our day-to-day issues distract us from what we have been called to do. In the above text we see the writer of the psalm state that he will praise God “while I have my being.” He is making a commitment to always praising God. That is the perfect New Year’s Resolution. Few probably make such a resolution or commitment. Yet, that is the very reason we have been created.
