“Praise the LORD!
Praise, O servants of the LORD.
Praise the name of the LORD.
Blessed be the name of the LORD
From this time forth and forever.
From the rising of the sun to its going down
The LORD’S name is to be praised.”  Psalm 113:1-3
 
“Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with  praise.
Be thankful to Him and bless His name.
For the LORD is good;
His truth endures to all generations.”  Psalm 100:4-5
 
Let us come together with one heart to worship Christ our Lord.  Worshipping with a heart and mind focused on Him. Letting the Holy Spirit lead us into a time of worship that is wholly pleasing to God.  As we focus on Christ let’s set aside the cares of the world and our own needs and desires during this time.  
 
For Scripture does admonishes us to--
*Praise God in song:
“Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion;
Declare His deeds among the people.”  Psalm 9:11
 
“O come, let us sing for joy to the LORD!
Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving;
Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.”  Psalm 95:1-2
 
“Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands!
Serve the LORD with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing. 
Know that the LORD, He is God…”  Psalm 100:1-3
 
*Praise GOD with musical instruments:
“Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet;
Praise Him with the lute and harp!
Praise Him with the timbrel and dance;
Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes!
Praise Him with loud cymbals;
Praise Him with clashing cymbals!”  Psalm 145:3-5
 
*Praise Him universally:
“Let all the peoples praise You O God;
Let all the peoples praise You.” Psalm 67:3 and 5
 
*Praise Him at all times:
“Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.”  
Hebrews 13:15
 
“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
 
“Come let us worship and bow down; 
Let us kneel be fore the LORD our maker.
For He is our God and we are the people of His pasture,
And the sheep of His hand (under His care).”  Psalm 95:6-7
 
We have GREAT reason to worship our mighty God!
Just read 1 Peter 2:9!
“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 darkness into His marvelous light; who were once not a people but are now the people of God…”
 
Whether standing, sitting, lifting hand, bowing down, kneeling, clapping,
Our focus: mind, soul and spirit, is on the LORD God; praising and worshipping Him!
 
“Bless the LORD, O my soul,
And all that is with in me, Bless His Holy Name.”  Psalm 103:1
 
“Let everything that has breath praise the LORD,
Praise the LORD!” Psalm 145:6  Amen
