Will you praise?

Psalms 150:1-6 NLT

Praise the Lord! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heaven! Praise him for his mighty works; praise his unequaled greatness! Praise him with a blast of the ram’s horn; praise him with the lyre and harp! Praise him with the tambourine and dancing; praise him with strings and flutes! Praise him with a clash of cymbals; praise him with loud clanging cymbals. Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord! Praise the Lord!
********************************

Will you praise God today?

What will it take for you to be full of praise? Will your praise be exuberant? Is your heart overflowing with admiration for your God so much so that it screams and blasts out with the power of a rock anthem. Is there a drum solo welling up in your soul for your Saviour?

Will the challenge of your work-a-day world be met with your loud, "I serve am awesome God!"?

Is musical praise part of your everyday life?

Do you have a song of praise in your heart?

What is more worthy of your attention? What do you have to do that's more important to do?
Why is your praise timid?

Praise is what you were made for!
You have no higher calling than praise.
Praise is the ultimate reason for your existence.

He is greater.
He is kinder.
He is wiser.
He is more powerful.
He is more worthy.
He is forgiving.
He is more clever.
He is more praiseworthy, than your technology, than your action film, than your holiday destination, than your accomplishments. He is more noteworthy than your breaking news, he is more captivating than your cheap novel or epic trilogy!!! Our God is worthy of a song, a shout, a dance..... 
a mention?

Will you mention him?
Will you consider him today?
Will your thoughts keep drifting towards him?

Will your praise seem inadequate? Will you need to beat the drum louder? Will you feel compelled to crash the cymbals harder?

Will you praise God today?  Will you praise him loudly?
Will you praise him at all?

" Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord! Praise the Lord!"
