Psalm 150(Good News Translation)
Saturday
November 7, 2009
Called to be Free to Give God Thanks and Praise
Introduction
Psalm 150: In today's psalm, a full orchestra of musical instruments is to be joined by a full choir of voices, as "all living creatures" join the song of praise. There is no better way to express the message that is found throughout Psalms-God, the creator and ruler of the world, deserves the praise of everything and everybody.
Today's Scripture: Psalm 150:6
Praise the LORD, all living creatures! Praise the LORD!
How is this Scripture passage speaking to me today?
Today's Reading
1Praise the LORD! Praise God in his Temple! Praise his strength in heaven!2Praise him for the mighty things he has done. Praise his supreme greatness.3Praise him with trumpets. Praise him with harps and lyres.4Praise him with drums and dancing. Praise him with harps and flutes.5Praise him with cymbals. Praise him with loud cymbals.6Praise the LORD, all living creatures! Praise the LORD!Reflect
Music and musical instruments are mentioned frequently in the Bible, but unfortunately, no actual melodies are preserved and we can only guess at the exact sounds of the instruments. What kinds of music are most helpful to you in praising God? What does it mean to you to make a joyful noise unto the Lord?
Pray
Praise the LORD! Lord, I praise you for all the mighty things you have done. May the joyful noises I make be pleasing to you. Give me the confidence to sing, dance and play boldly in my worship of you. Amen.
