Always be ready to praise and worship God

"I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2My soul shall make its boast in the Lord; The humble shall hear of it and be glad".      

                                                                                     Psalm 34:1-2    NKJV

David wrote this Psalm at a time when he was on the run from Saul, who was out to kill him through his jealousy, because David was better thought of than himself. So David penned this Psalm and then David found himself with Achish (or Abimelech as some thought this name was of the king, while others thought it was the place.) One of Achish's servants recognised David and made it known to the king. Therefore, David began to feign being mentally ill, making weird noises, having saliva running into his beard and scratching at the doors of the gate. Achish was convinced and had David put out of the city and he went on his way.

David wrote this song and made it known that we should all bless and praise the Lord at all times. David intended us to use this song not only when things were going well but also when things were at there worse. He knew that such worship as this, would encourage people and place praise in their hearts too. And this is what David carried on doing. He was a man after God's heart and he wanted to live up to this. 

It is so encouraging for us too. Praise lifts the heart and reaches Jesus faster than the speed of light. He cannot resist a praising person and He is right in the middle of it, joining in with us as He praises His own Father God. It must be an amazing sight to witness seeing the church, the angels, Jesus and Father God praising in heaven. We will see this one day.

But, I believe that David wrote this song for all down the generations to sing in worship. Just think, instead of moaning and groaning when things go wrong, wouldn't it be wonderful to bless the Lord at all times, the praise so tremendous that the walls of heaven shake (Isaiah 6:3).

It can be done but, only when we put God's Word into action and bless and praise Him at all times. This means all the time. Think of the changes that this would bring. Well. it has to start somewhere so, why not be one of the early starters and get this show on the road.

If you don't know Jesus or, have fallen away, why not say this prayer right now

Lord Jesus, I have sinned. I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today. In Jesus' Name. Amen
