Many refer to the Bible as the instructional manual for life. It gives us wisdom and much advice on how to carry on in our life. This is also true of Psalm 103. David gives us an example of how to praise God, why we should praise God, the benefits of praising Him and lastly he implores all creatures, even the Angels to give God praise. This psalm is nothing but PRAISE. Not one supplication or petition is seen in it. This is time for God without us thinking of ourselves…True focus on HIM.
As David begins the Psalm “Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name”, I think of highest praise. This praise is not your everyday praise…it comes from deep within. This is a praise that is personal and one that only God can appreciate as it should be just for Him. David is master of praise. In 2 Samuel 6:14 it reads: “And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.” Have you ever felt such intense emotion when you praise God? Have you praised Him with all of your might and all of your being that you are unaware of what’s going on around you?
Now its time to follow David’s lead!!! Time to give to God and to Him only. Time to give him praise, praise that comes from deep within. Praise from the heart. Praise that He certainly deserves and is worthy of!!! This is the praise that our awesome God deserves and much more. From all over the earth and in heaven, Praise be to God!!!
