“Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous! For praise from the upright is beautiful.” Psalm 33:1 NKJV

Of the 150 psalms recorded in the Bible, the dominant recurring theme is “praise the Lord!” The book is like a memo from psalmists that says, “Today be sure to praise the Lord.” In Psalm 34, David wrote, “I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make its boast in the Lord; the humble shall hear of it and be glad. Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together” (Psalm 34:1-3 NKJV). In Psalm 113:1-3, the psalmist wrote, “Praise ye the Lord. Praise, O ye servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord. Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and for evermore. From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord’s name is to be praised.” In Psalm 118:24, the psalmist says, “This is the day which the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” In Psalm 119:164, the psalmist says, “Seven times a day do I praise thee.” We have coffee and tea breaks; they had praise breaks. Finally we arrive at Psalm 150, the last psalm. In verse 6, the last verse of the last psalm, we are reminded again, “Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.” That means as long as you are alive and breathing, you’re to praise the Lord. So whatever else you do, or fail to do today, be sure to praise the Lord.
