There is nothing better than the love God has for each and every one of us. In Psalm 63:3 David says, Because you love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. God deserves to be glorified. Even our existence is less important than the love God has for each of us. We should be willing to give up our lives because of God’s love for us. And we should be openly sharing about God’s love for us because it is the best thing about our very existence.

When we struggle with how to worship the Lord, Psalm 149:3-5 has some great suggestions, 3 Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with tambourine and harp. 4 For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with salvation. 5 Let the saints rejoice in this honor and sing for joy on their beds. In the end, worshiping the Lord is something we should do wholeheartedly. It should be mentally, spiritually, and physically encompassing. God deserves our praise.

Psalm 148 is all about calling all of creation to worship the Lord. Verse 13 sums it up nicely, Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted, his splendor is above the earth and the heavens. There is nothing more worth of praise than the Lord. He created all things and is worth of our praise.

Of the three verses in today’s Psalm, verse 134:2 stood out to me, Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise the Lord. In all we do for the Lord, let us do it fully and with reverence to Him. By lift our hand to God, not as a public display, but as submission to Him, we fully give ourselves to God’s service.

There is a peace we feel when we are in the house of God. Just being in God’s presence with other believers brings clarity and perspective with whatever we are facing. In Psalm 122:1 David expresses how much he enjoyed being in God’s presence, I rejoice with those who said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord.” The closer our relationship is with God and the more we seek Him, the better the experience when we are in His presence with other believers in our time of worship.

God deserves our praise above anything else in our lives. Psalm 96:4 says, For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods. We all have many gods in our lives; whether it’s money, career, relationships, or the like. When we put anything ahead of our relationship with God we make it a god in our lives. He is worthy of our praise above all else.

God is worthy of our time and worship. He is the creator of us and the entire Universe. Psalm 95:6 says, Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. Nothing else matters than having a strong relationship with God. He loves us and wants to be in communion with us. We will never want Him more than He already wants us.

In today’s reading, David proclaims God’s glory and power. At the end of the chapter he says in Psalm 68:35, You are awesome, O God, in your sanctuary; the God of Israel gives power and strength to his people. Praise be to God! While times may change, God’s power and ability do not. He deserved our praise during the time of David and He still deserves it today.
