It's a done deal

"Praise the Lord. Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty firmament. Praise Him for His mighty acts; Praise Him according to His excellent greatness. Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet; Praise Him with the lute and harp; Praise Him with the timbrel and dance; Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes; Praise him with loud cymbals; Praise Him with crashing cymbals; Let everything that has breath, Praise the Lord."  Psalm 150 NKJV

Anyone in a church setting, would now be shouting, 'Amen' which means 'Let it be,' alternatively, they may be shouting, 'Hallelujah' which means 'Praise the Lord.' Whatever they would say, they would be thanking and praising God.

However, we don't have to be in a church setting to do this. Praise can, and should, be in our lives 24/7 - anywhere we are and in anything that we're doing. Angels in Heaven may be praising God at this time, however, they cannot praise and thank God for what we can, and that is salvation. For all of us who are 'saved' - that means, we've asked Jesus to be our Lord and Saviour, it's a 'done deal'. Jesus died for us, in our place. He took our sins upon Himself as if He had committed them Himself and gave us freedom, a new life. That is salvation and the angels cannot have this because they're already there with Jesus. For us who have Jesus in our hearts, we have that to look forward to. We have salvation now but the full reality of it will not happen until we see Jesus face to face in Heaven.

Until that day, we have everything to live for and in everything, we need to praise and thank God. Look at the end of this Psalm, 'Let everything that has breath, Praise the Lord.' Have you got breath? Of course you have. Then Praise the Lord with it. We may have problems but Praise him. Not for the problems because He didn't give them to you. No, Praise Him as you move through the problems. We may be sick. Then Praise Him through the sickness. We may be unhappy; then Praise Him through this unhappiness. There may be a host of different things that hurt, hinder and take your joy away. However, stand and Praise Him.

As we do this, something wonderful happens. God meets us and fills us with he joy and strength to take on whatever we have to face throughout the day. Praise lifts our sorrows. The devil cannot stand the sound of Praise. He'll do everything he can to prevent you doing this. Why? Because you are in direct contact with God and the devil knows that you're a threat to him when you're this way. So he'll try and stop you. Don't let Him. Stand tall and sing and Praise God. Turn up the Praise music; start to laugh, dance, sing and clap your way though the heartaches and problems you may be going through. God loves you. Do you hear me? GOD LOVES YOU! You have breath, then use it to praise your friend, Jesus. He loves to receive this type of thing from you. He really can't get enough of you. It's done deal.
