Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD! Psalms 150:6
Psalm 150, the last psalm, is about praising God and being thankful. This is the last verse in a way asking us to be grateful for everything that we have starting with the ability to take our next breath. Breathing is something we take for granted. It is the first thing we do when we are born and the last thing we do when we die. We do it even when we are sleeping or when we are not thinking about it. It is an automatic blessing that we receive all the time. It is the gift of life. When God brought Adam to life, He breathed into his nostrils (Genesis 2:7).
Therefore, the God who breathed his very breath into us is highly praiseworthy. Besides the gift of life, all those possessions we currently have no matter what they are, is only because of Him. Praise the Lord! There is no better way to start a new day than in praise to the Lord. Nothing prepares us for what we will face more than offering praise to the God of heaven who loves us and takes care of us. By praising him we recognize that he alone is God and that we are dependent upon him for all things. In our praise we are giving him thanks for what he has done for us in the past and will be doing in the future.
Have a blessed day!
