JUNE 23RD – CAPSULE 23
TOPIC: LIVING A LIFE OF PRAISE
BIBLE TEXT: PSALM 119 VS 164 – Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgements.
The psalmist (king David) lived a wonderful life, as a Shepherd first, then a warrior and a leader before he became a mighty King in Israel. With his busy lifestyle, King David lived a life of absolute praise unto the Lord. Seven times a day he lifted up his praise to the Lord to minister to God. Nothing and no one could take this lifestyle from him and he did so till the end.
He was successful at praising the Lord with all his heart because of the love of God, he valued God’s word and sought to know God more. This wonderful man was consistent in his service of praise unto the Lord from a teenager – to an adult, through every victory and battles he faced, he praised God. In his palace he was not ashamed to dance unto the Lord nor act too royal or form important before the Lord. And In the presence of his servants he demonstrated true praise to God.
Another wonderful example is our Lord Jesus Christ, who lived a life of praise. For out of the abundance of a praiseful life, flows streams of thanksgiving. A thanks giver is one who is living by praise, such an individual can be called a true worshipper.
Let us adopt this life style and render quality time of worship to God for His goodness and love and mercies we receive from God when we return to praise Him. Our praise meter should begin to read from today. Beloved, come out of ungratefulness and walk into a life of praising the Lord.
Prayer: Help me Lord, I want to live a life of praise in service to your will.
Insight: A life of praise is a life well spent.
Father help me to be a true worshipper and to live a life of praise in service to your will. Amen.
