Psalm 99:2–3: The Lord is great in Zion, And He is high above all the peoples. Let them praise Your great and awesome name— He is holy.
Experiencing Jesus in the Psalms
This is another great psalm of praise to God, the Mighty One. If you haven’t formed the habit of praising God, you should. If you are going to heaven, you had better tune up, because you are going to spend a lot of time praising Him in heaven and the best place to tune up is down here. We are going to come to a psalm that says that the Lord is good—let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy. That psalm looks to the future when we will praise Him during the Millennium. It is not the Millennium yet, but there is no reason why we should not praise Him today. Do you know why we should praise Him? Because He is wonderful, He is faithful, and His lovingkindness endures forever. He will always be good to me, and He will always be good to you. Doesn’t this do something for you? 1
Living the Transformed Life
Say to God, “How awesome are Your works!” Psalm 66:3
- Praise Him Today…because He has a wonderful home prepared for you in heaven!
- Praise Him Today…because He is faithful, and will fulfill all of His promises to you!
- Praise Him Today…because His lovingkindness that is upon you will never cease!
Make the Great One, the only One, worthy of all your praise and adoration.
Praise and Prayer
Thank You, Father, for reigning over the world, and ruling over my life. Dear Jesus, help me to make this day, and everyday, a day of praise and thanksgiving.
