As we gather today in our different places of worship as one body let's just rejoice and praise the Lord with our whole beings. Let's join our hearts together and ask the Holy Spirit to bring forth in each of us the worship that will delight the heart of our Lord God. Once again we can turn to the Psalmist who wrote from a heart inspired by the Holy Spirit for words of praise and rejoicing.

"This is the day which the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24

"Praise the Lord, all nations;
Laud Him, all peoples!
For His loving kindness is great toward us, And the truth of the Lord is everlasting.
Praise the Lord." Psalm 117:1-2

"Behold, bless the Lord,
All you servants of the Lord,
Who by night stand in the house of the Lord!
Lift up your hand in the sanctuary,
And bless the Lord." Psalm 134:1-2

"Praise the Lord!
Praise the name of the Lord;
Praise Him, O you servants of the Lord!
You who stand in the house of the Lord,
In the courts of the house of our God,
Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good;
Sing praises to His name, for it is pleasant. Psalm 135:1-3

"Praise the Lord!
For it is good to sing praises to our God; For it is pleasant, and praise is beautiful." 147:l

So let this be our heart always:
"I will bless the Lord at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth, My soul shall make its boast in the Lord; The humble shall hear of it and be glad.
Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
And let us exalt His name together." Psalm 34:1-3

"Sing for joy in the Lord, O you righteous ones; Praise is becoming to the upright." Psalm 33:1 (This verse always touches my heart. The Word is telling us that praise looks good on us. In the natural we enjoy wearing something that looks good on us, why then would we not always wear this garment of praise that God Himself has given us? Read Isaiah 61:3)

There are so many more songs of praise, but I leave them to you to seek out.

Today as we praise the Lord, and in honoring Him, let us with thanksgiving, honor the mothers He has given each of us.
We give all praise, glory, honor and thanksgiving to You most Holy Lord!
Amen
