Our confidence should come from the knowledge that we serve a powerful and loving God. Psalm 44:8 says, In God we make our boast all day long, and we will praise your name forever. Because of our confidence, we should give God our praise at all times. All that we do and all God does for us is for His glory.

In Psalm 21 David recognizes God will receive the glory and praise He deserves. In Psalm 21:13 David says, Be exalted, O Lord, in your strength; we will sing and praise your might. We may not always feel as though we are winning, but God is. The victory and glory belongs to Him. Let us all hope and pray He chooses us worth to be used by Him in His perfect plan.

In today’s Psalm, David praises God for His greatness. In Psalm 8:9 David ends the Psalm the way it started, O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! God’s majesty is above all of His creation!

Today we read the last psalm in the book or Psalm. The very last verse in Psalm 150:6 says, Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the Lord. Because God is the creator of the universe, and because He loves us so much, and because He is worth of our praise, we must praise Him with all we are and all we have. Praise the Lord!

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.

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.

If we are not in complete amazement at God’s awesomeness, then we are doing something wrong. In Psalm 47:2 the temple assistants (The Sons of Korah) make this statement, How awesome is the Lord Most High. The great King over all the earth! When we use the word “awesome” in our modern day language, we fail to grasp the magnitude of what the authors are trying to say. The Lord Most High’s awesomeness is truly meant in an overwhelming way we can only barely grasp. Because of this, He is beyond worth of our praise.

In today’s Psalm we read a poem written by The Sons of Korah (temple assistants), most likely for Solomon’s wedding. While this is mostly historic, it is also seen as prophetic about Christ and His bride, the church. It is a reflection of our praise for Him through all generations and into eternity. Psalm 45:6 says, Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.

When we accomplish something great, or even not so great, we want to tell the world and be recognized for it. With social media it is even easier to do this. But recognition can be dangerous because it takes away the glory from God. In 2 Corinthians 10:17-18 Paul tells the Corinthians this: 17 But, “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.” 18 For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends. When we accomplish great things, we should give all glory to God and let Him praise us. Praise from God is all that matters.
