intro
A Psalm is a song, Psalms is a song book.
Psalm 150 is the song in this awesome book of songs.
It is the conclusion of all the thoughts and revelations of the 149 other songs this book . .
.and that conclusion is “Praise Ye the Lord”
First part of this psalm issues a command, Praise ye the Lord
it is a command, not a suggestion
it is an imperative, not advice
it is an order, not a proposal
it is a mandate, not a recommendation
let that sink in . . .
this song gives us a command
So we better figure out the WHAT praise is
Express warm approval, or admiration of
To show of endorsement or appreciation for someone
glorify - commend - exalt - compliment
notice that these are all action words: we must do something in order to praise
not just meditate on what God has done . . .
though that’s good
not just feel positive about God’s goodness . . .
that’s good too
but praise is outwardly expressing the results of your meditation, outwardly demonstrating that positive feeling
How do I express?
What actions do I take.
How do I glorify, exalt, commend, compliment the Lord?
Singing, talking - 1 Chronicles 16:9 - Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.
Clap, shout – Psalms 47:1 - O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph
lifting of hands – Psalms 134:2 - 2 Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the Lord.
Dancing – 2 Samuel 6: 14 And David danced before the Lord with all his might
What is praise?
It is expressing admiration, approval, and appreciation through singing, talking, clapping, shouting, lifting of hands and dancing to name a few
and Psalms 150 says . . .
Praise ye the Lord
it say s“I’m going to need you to do that” . .
.make that outward expression for THE Lord
sing for him, talk about his goodness
clap for him, shout for him
lift your hands to him
dance before him
so we have the WHAT
The next part of this Psalm turns to WHERE
1b Praise God in his sanctuary: this psalm reveals that one place we must praise God is at church
The sanctuary of God is the most fitting place for his praise.
For it is a place set apart for His honor.
If God is to be praised anywhere, it should be at the church.
but many times we come to church, but not for praise
sometimes we come out of habit, but you need to make a habit of praising God while you’re here
and there is nothing wrong with you coming to church to get encouraged, but I encourage you to praise God while you’re here
It’s ok to come to church and get the saints to pray over you, but also get the saints to praise God with you
and we all should expect to get a word from God when we come to church, but understand that God is expecting a word of praise from you
in fact, Enter into his gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise, be thankful unto him and bless his name
Once place we are commanded to praise is at church
this church is to be a house of prayer and a place of praise
but there is some more to this “where to praise”
1c Praise him in the firmament of his power: this psalm reveals that not only should we praise God at church, we should praise God everywhere we go
the firmament is the atmosphere, the heavens, the sky that stretches from horizon to horizon
praise the Lord from the earth, all the way to his mighty heavens!
We should not only praise God in church, but everywhere!
Since his glory fills the earth, his praise should fill the earth
you are command to look for opportunities to praise God outside the four walls of the church, you should not wait until you get to church
in other words, wherever you are and wherever you go, praise the Lord
at your house, praise the Lord
singing, clapping, lifting of hands, dancing, or shouting in your home!
when you leave the house, praise the Lord
we are so careful to prepare for our day by making sure that we pack our keys . . .
wallet . . .
phone . . . .
phone charger . . .
breath mints . .
.hand sanitizer . . . .
if you have kids then snacks,
but this verse commands us that as we are preparing for each day, we need to pack up some praise too!
so that you will have a praise everywhere you go
cause when you get in your car, you need a “thank you for transportation praise” already packed
when you are driving down the street, and you hear an ambulance passing by, you need a, “It could have been me praise”
and when make it to your destination safely, you need a “Thank you for protecting me” praise
when you sit down at the table, you need a, “The Lord is a provider praise
when you lay down in your bed each night, you’ll need a, “Thank you for keeping me” praise
Even if something goes wrong, you need a, “Hallelujah anyhow praise”
The psalms orders us to praise him, praise him at church, and praise him everywhere you go
Next the Psalm transitions to the WHY
2a Praise him for his mighty acts: This psalm reveals that we must praise God for what He’s done
First, His mighty acts include His demonstration of power
So praise him because He created the world with just a word
Praise him because he hung the sun, moon, and stars in the sky
So praise Him because he designed both the butterfly and the killer whale
praise him because He gave the horse it’s strength and eagle it’s eyesight
praise him because he created ponds, streams, lakes, rivers, and oceans
praise him because he created mountains, valleys, desserts, and jungles
praise him Because he had the power to make mankind by taking the dust and breathing the breath of life into it
praise him for his mighty acts
His mighty acts also refers to God’s heroic acts, how we saves and delivers his people
the writer of this psalm would be thinking about how God saved and delivered his people from Egypt with 10 plagues
this writer would be reflecting on how God saved them from Pharaoh’s army, when God divided the Red Sea and the children of Israel crossed on dry ground
He would be thinking on how God delivered them by bringing water from a rock when they were thirsty, and raining bread from heaven when they were hungry,
he would be thinking on how the Lord saves and delivers
and God has saved and delivered us too, every Christian should be reflecting on how God
saved us by the blood of Jesus at Calvary
delivered us from sin, guilt , and shame
saved us from the power of the enemy
