The hymn writer asks, “O soul, are you weary and troubled?” When the answer is, “Yes,” how can our souls…our spirits…be lifted out of, what John Bunyan called: “the slough of despond?” Praise! Praise the Lord! Praise Him for who He is and the great things He has done and is doing. Lift Him high and He will lift you up! Praise Him with some good music! If you’re breathing, then you should be praising!
Psalm 150
1 Praise the LORD! Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty expanse. 2 Praise Him for His mighty deeds; Praise Him according to His excellent greatness. 3 Praise Him with trumpet sound; Praise Him with harp and lyre. 4 Praise Him with timbrel and dancing; Praise Him with stringed instruments and pipe. 5 Praise Him with loud cymbals; Praise Him with resounding cymbals. 6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD!
“Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation! O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation!” ~ Joachim Neander
The Lord bless you and keep you…
