October 12, 2025

As we approach the conclusion of the Book of Psalms, we can see that those who compiled them were intentional in their order and listened carefully to the Holy Spirit as he guided them in their placement. The previous five chapters were psalms of prayer, followed by six psalms of praise to finish out the book. If the Psalms were a story of our life and we were in our final days, like the Psalms, our life should be filled with prayer and praise as a precursor or practice of what is to come in the afterlife. Worshipping and praising God is not hard; as a matter of fact, it is the easiest thing we can do, and it comes naturally to those who love Him. 

One of my favorite places to be is the beach. When I am there, I can immerse myself in God's presence and offer Him heartfelt and unhindered praise. Something about the waves crashing, the vastness of the sea, the birds freely skimming the waters, that helps me open my heart to Him. Whether it is your prayer closet, the forest, or, like me, the beach, find a place where you can concentrate on Him and give Him what He desires, our complete, unencumbered attention, where we open our hearts in prayer and praise to the One who holds our entire existence in His hands. Whatever is in your heart should be outwardly expressed, or it is not the truth. He deserves every ounce of worship we can utter. Make Him the center of your life, and everything else will fall into place. 


The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works. All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints shall bless thee. They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power; Psalms 145:9-11
