The Hebrew for "Praise the Lord." is Hallelu jah.
Is it good and fitting to praise the Lord and to sing praises to His name? Is it really? Then why is it that we keep ourselves from dong it? Why is it that we don't worship like we should? We sleep in instead. We come to church with our heads hanging low and scowls on our faces. We grudgingly look up at the wall and mumble the words. I could go on and on.
The reason is that we are sinful human beings in our bodies and minds and so every inclination is to go against what God wants. It is because we are sinful.
But God calls us to fight against sin. He calls us, by the power of the Holy Spirit, to a better, more holy life. He calls us to worship, praise, and honor Him and give Him glory in every part f our lives.
But the best part is that IT IS GOOD for us!! Our lives are better. Our minds and hearts are more at peace. Our blood pressure goes down. Our outlook is more heavenward. Our steps are lighter. Our lives are brighter. Our peace is greater. Our witness is wider! It truly is good to sing praises to God and to worship His holy name! It is pleasant and fitting to praise Him!
Let us pray: Lord god, help us to praise you, not just on Sunday morning, but every minute of every day, simply because it is good, pleasant, an fitting to do so. Amen.
