EVERYTHING means Every Thing

(Maddie Praisin' Jesus)

The Bible says, "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord" (Psalm 150:6). EVERYTHING! That's a loaded word in itself. Every thing that has breath. It doesn't say, every creature (which was made by God), although all creatures are included. It says every thing. Even the heavens (sun, moon, stars) praise him by painting a beautiful picture across the sky and showing how God is in control of the universe. Every creature can consciously and verbally praise the Lord, but the rest of creation gives it's praise to God by being what He has created it to be. Psalm 148:5, says Let them praise the name of the Lord, for he commanded and they were created.

Psalm 148 gives a description of who and what all should Praise the Lord. Then verse 13,

Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted; his splendor is above the earth and the heavens.

I'm pretty sure that includes you and me. Do you praise Him? Do you praise Him in Everything you do, or do you wait until Sunday morning and then follow with your worship leader at church?

Read Psalm 150,

Praise the Lord.

Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens.

Praise him for his acts of power, praise him for his surpassing greatness.

Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre,

praise him with the tambourine and dancing, praise him with the strings and flute,

praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals.

Let EVERYTHING that has breath praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord.
