READING:
One-year plan: Psalms 140-150
Two-year plan: Song of Solomon 3-5, Galatians 6
———-
As the psalmist closes his book with a dramatic doxology, he calls on “everything that breathes” to praise the Lord (Psa 150:6)—with particular emphasis on praising Him through musical instruments. The list of instruments includes percussion instruments, wind instruments, and stringed instruments, as if to emphasize the point, “Praise God with all of your being with every instrument possible.”
Even then, however, the praise would be insufficient for a God known for His “powerful acts” and “abundant greatness” (Psa 150:2). Indeed, our praise is to reverberate from the sanctuary to God’s “mighty expanse” (Psa 150:1). I encourage you to read Psalm 150 aloud several times today, and let God’s praises ring out!
PERSONAL REFLECTION: Are you ready to praise God today?
PRAYER: “Hallelujah! I praise You, Lord.”
