Get Your Praise On!

Words to a song come to mind....

I'll praise you, Lord, in all that I go thru
Because PRAISE is what I do
And I OWE it all to You. 

II Chronicles 5:13-14  It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the Lord, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth forever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the Lord; so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God. 

I wonder what could happen if everyone in the sanctuary would be as one.  One with the muscians and singers, making melody of praise unto our God?!  Talk about ONE SOUND! 

Singing a song of praise and thinking about the Most High in the congregation of His saints should inspire heart-felt worship.  So much so that our hands and feet can not be still and our mouth can not be silent.  Surely His mercy does endure forever.  That alone should get us to moving something. 

We do not dance and have runaway services to keep from hearing the ministry preach to us.  However it is BECAUSE of the Word that is ministered to us every week that we have reason and authority to know how to give praise to our God.  When God's glory comes down, there is ministry in that place!

Happy Friday, everybody!  I'm headed to a Youth Rally.  Gonna get my praise on tonight! :)
