Key Verses: "Blessed be the name of The Lord from this time forth and forevermore! From the rising of the sun to it's going down the Lord's name is to be praised" (Verse 2-3).
The psalm opens and closes with "Praise The Lord" and give us three wonderful reasons for praising The Lord:
1) God's Name Is the Greatest! (Verses 1-3)
2) God's Throne Is The Highest (Verses 4-6)
3) God's Love Is The Kindest (Verses 7-9)
As His beloved children we have the responsibilities to praise Him:
A) We Are To Praise Him
It is a tragic when we forget to praise The Lord. God deserves our praise, for He does so much for us.
B ) Praise All Day Long
"From the rising of the sun to its going down" (Verses 3). Praise Him when we rise up in the morning. Praise Him when we are retiring at the end of the day. Praise Him during the day for the good things that happen and for the difficult things. Give thanks for seeing us through each and every situation.
C) Praise Him All Over The World
As suggested by the Psalmist's reference to the journey of the sun from the east to the west that our praise to Him should encompass the whole world.
We should never run out of reasons to praise The Lord. Is praise part of our daily walk with The Lord? Make it a habit to Praise The Lord Forevermore!
Prayer, Praise, and Promises - Warren W. Wiersbe
God has attached responsibility to our privilege. We never run out of reasons to praise the Lord. Our praise to Him should encompass the whole day and the whole world. Is praise part of our daily walk with the Lord? Let everything that has breath praise the Lord - PRAISE THE LORD! (Psalm 150:6).
Praise is the greatest work God’s children can ever do. It is the loftiest expression the saints can ever show. The highest manifestation of spiritual life is seen in men praising God - Watchman Nee.
Be inspired and be blessed.
