Praise the LORD!

"Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the godly!" Psalm 149:1 (ESV)

The Psalmist reminds me of something I know but must be reminded of often. One of my primary purposes is to sing the praises of my God! What a joy to do so when we gather to worship each Lord's Day. And how wonderful it was this past Sunday to look over and see Barb back at the piano helping us focus our attention on the blessings of God. I was able to sing a new song, one that was full of thanksgiving for a wife restored to ministry as a pianist. I appreciated the musicians who filled in during her absence, but I praised God that Barb was able to resume her ministry.

I wonder what it would be like to try and worship without being able to sing praises to our God! I sure hope I never find out.
