Reading: Psalm 113
Praise the Lord! Praise, O servants of the Lord; praise the name of the Lord. Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time on and forevermore. From the rising of the sun to its setting the name of the Lord is to be praised. The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens. Who is like the Lord our God, who is seated on high, who looks far down on the heavens and the earth? He raises the poor from the dust, and lifts the needy from the ash heap, to make them sit with princes, with the princes of his people. He gives the barren woman a home, making her the joyous mother of children. Praise the Lord! Reflection The familiar words of Psalm 113 take me back to my high school choir days. “Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and forevermore!” My sister and I were super excited when this piece was handed out for our upcoming concert. It was always one of our favorite songs to sing back in our high school days. Sometimes she would sit at the piano and play, and I would sing. We both loved that song and sang it with such joy and life and enthusiasm! The way it should be sung. Joy and life is evident in Psalm113 with or without a catchy tuned attached to it. The Lord, mighty and powerful is high above all else, from morning till night, the name of the Lord is to be praised. He lifts up the lowly and gives the barren woman children to bring her delight. The Lord, mighty and awesome, is in each new day and deserves our praise and adoration. However you choose to do that today and everyday, make it a part of your morning devotion. Sing praises in the shower! Give thanks for your morning coffee or tea. Marvel in the beauty and wonder of nature as you take your morning walk or run. Pray or sing worship songs as you travel to work. Bow your head in silent prayer as you begin a new day. Make a joyful noise to the Lord and remember all the goodness God bestows upon you each and every day! Prayer Heavenly Father, we rejoice in you and your love for us this day and always! All you have made is good and precious and brings joy to each new day! May we find a moment to sing our songs of praise to your holy, blessed name from this time forth and forevermore! Amen.
