What a glorious day!
 
Let’s just praise and worship Christ Jesus, our wonderful Lord, for He is worthy of all our praise.  Scripture is filled with reasons for and the results of praising the Lord.  I’m certain someone has counted the number of times praise appears in Scripture.  Add to that ‘hallelujah’ which means ‘praise the Lord’ and the number must be very great.  It is God Himself who gave us “the garment of praise”  (Isaiah 61:3), that alone is the greatest reason to put it into practice.  
 
The following are just a few passages of praise.  Add your own and be blessed as you worship our God and Savior.
 
“Sing for joy in the LORD, O you righteous ones;
Praise is becoming (suitable, beautiful) to the upright.”  Psalm 33:1
 
“It is good to give thanks to the LORD,
And to sing praises to Thy name, O Most High;
To declare Thy loving-kindness in the morning,
And Thy faithfulness by night.
For Thou, O LORD, hast made me glad by what Thou hast done,
I will sing for joy at the works of Thy hands.
How great are Thy works, O LORD!”  Psalm 92:1-2; 4-5a
 
“Praise the LORD!
Praise the LORD, O my soul!
I will praise the LORD while I live;
I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.”  Psalm 146:1
 
“Praise the LORD!
Sing to the LORD a new song,
And His praise in the congregation of the godly ones.
For the LORD takes pleasure in His people…
Let the high praises of God be in their mouth…”  Psalm 149:1; 4a; 6a
 
“Praise the LORD!
For it is good to sing praises to our God;
For it is pleasant and praise is becoming (suitable, beautiful).”  Psalm 147:1
 
“Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.
Praise the LORD!”  Psalm 150:6
 
Hallelujah.  As it is written in some Bibles in the margin, hallelu jah, Praise the LORD!
