“I will bless the LORD at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul shall make her boast in the Lord;
The humble shall hear thereof and be glad.
O magnify the LORD with me, 
And let us exalt His name together.
I sought the LORD, and He heard me,
And delivered me from all my fears.”  Psalm 34:1-4 
 
We often sing these words in our Fellowship.  Read them again, carefully.
They are full of opportunities for personal as well as corporate study.  Just look at the available areas of studies before each of us.  There is the study of--
Praising the Lord
Glorifying God
Boasting in God
Honoring God
Looking into God’s name
Seeking
Prayer being heard
Deliverance 
Freedom from fear
 
Let us look to the Scriptures today for an example of how a study could start:
Such as: How to praise our Holy and Awesome God.
Praise Him in song:
“Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion!
Declare His deeds among the people.”  Psalm 9:11
 
Praise Him with musical instruments:
“Praise the LORD with the harp;
Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings.
Sing to Him a new song;
Play skillfully with a shout of joy.”  Psalm 33:2-3
(Let me share with you Vs. 1 as well. It tells us what our praises look like to God as sing our praises.)
“Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous!
For praise from the upright is beautiful.”
 
Praise Him universally:
“Let the people praise You, O God;
Let all the peoples praise You.
Oh, let the nations be glad and sing for joy!…”  Psalm 67:3-4
 
Praise Him continually:
“Therefore by Him (Jesus) let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.”  Hebrew 13:15
 
1 Peter 2:9-10 gives us the fourfold reason that we should wholeheartedly continually give praises to God!
“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkens into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God…”
(Chosen, holy, His people, called into His light!)  Hallelujah and Thank You Most Holy God!
 
I hope this very brief message will stir our hearts to look deeper into our opening verses.  So that we may know our Most Holy God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit in an ever greater measure!
 
Thank You Father for Your living Word as He is revealed to us by The Holy Spirit.  We love and adore You.  We praise and honor You.  We give You all the glory!  Amen
