Praise Him

Psalm 148 English Standard Version (ESV)
148 
Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord from the heavens;
    praise him in the heights!
Praise him, all his angels;
    praise him, all his hosts!
Praise him, sun and moon,
    praise him, all you shining stars!
Praise him, you highest heavens,
    and you waters above the heavens!
Let them praise the name of the Lord!
    For he commanded and they were created.
And he established them forever and ever;
    he gave a decree, and it shall not pass away.[a]
Praise the Lord from the earth,
    you great sea creatures and all deeps,
fire and hail, snow and mist,
    stormy wind fulfilling his word!
Mountains and all hills,
    fruit trees and all cedars!
10 
Beasts and all livestock,
    creeping things and flying birds!
11 
Kings of the earth and all peoples,
    princes and all rulers of the earth!
12 
Young men and maidens together,
    old men and children!
13 
Let them praise the name of the Lord,
    for his name alone is exalted;
    his majesty is above earth and heaven.
14 
He has raised up a horn for his people,
    praise for all his saints,
    for the people of Israel who are near to him.
Praise the Lord!

This is a reminder today that we should praise the Lord.  If we don’t, the stones will cry out! 
Luke 19:36-40English Standard Version (ESV)
36 And as he rode along, they spread their cloaks on the road. 37 As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, 38 saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” 39 And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” 40 He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.”

Sometimes I think we forget that God created all things.  As we ponder the thought of His creation we should find it easy to praise Him.  

Seek Him and remember to Praise Him with all your heart.

Seeking Him with all my heart,
