Praise, thanksgiving and Worship in the Psalms: Focus on God.
Text: Psalm 47:6, 7
Monday 14th July
Key verse: Psalm 95: 1 O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
We must sing praises with understanding to God. Give God thanks and worship with understanding. This makes the praises and worship of God to be meaningful and pleasant; a sacrifice of a sweet-smelling savor, acceptable by God. Praising and worshipping God with understanding entails that: 1. We know Who we praise, thank and worship. 2. We know why we praise, thank and worship Him. 3. We know what we praise, thank and worship Him for. 4. We know how to praise, thank and worship Him. 5. We know where to praise, thank and worship Him. 6. We know when to praise, thank and worship Him. 7. We know with whom to praise, thank and worship Him. This is worshipping God with understanding.
God is the Person we praise, thank and worship. He is the Person of universal praise. Living and non-living things praise and worship Him. He is the Creator Who made all things for His glory and praise. He created man and woman for His glory and praise. He ordained praise, thanksgiving and worship of Himself as the duty of His human and angelic creatures. He redeemed fallen man from sin for His praise and worship. He inhabits the praise and worship of His saints. Praise and worship of God is praise and worship of the three personalities in the Godhead: the Father, the Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. The three are the One God, One Lord, One King, One Jehovah angels and saints in heaven and the saints on earth praise and worship.
Direct your praises to God. Let God be the enthroned image or personality in your heart when you are offering praise, thanksgiving and worship. Direct your adoring praise and worship to God and not to His creatures. Worship God and not His angels. Worship God and not man. Give praise, honour and worship to God for the beauty, virtues, excellence and glory you see in His angelic creatures, human creatures, animate and inanimate creatures. God alone is worthy to be praised and adored. Man is a soul made by God and so should be made to praise God with understanding. This makes praise, thanksgiving and worship glorifying to God and sweet to the soul.
