Praise the Lord
Scripture:
Psalm 117:1-2
“O praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Praise ye the Lord.”
Song:
I Thank Thee, Dear Father, Children’s Songbook page 7
Lesson:
Many of the Psalms were meant to praise the Lord, especially Psalms 111-113 and 146-150. These Psalms show gratitude for the Lord’s help, His creations, His commandments, His deliverance, and His power. They call on everyone and everything to sing praises to God and they remind us to put our trust in Him.
Psalm 119:105 teaches that the word of God is like a “lamp unto [our] feet, and a light unto [our] path.” His teachings and commandments help us to know the way we should go and they bring us comfort and peace.
Psalm 127:1 says, “Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it.” From Psalms 127-129 we learn that if we build our lives and our families with our focus on the Lord we will be blessed.
Quote:
“When we worship God, we acknowledge and receive Him… We ponder God’s word, and that fills our souls with light and truth… When we worship, our hearts are drawn out in praise to our blessed God morning, noon, and night.” Dean M. Davies
