“I will exalt you, my God and King, and praise your name forever and ever. I will praise you every day; yes, I will praise you forever. Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise! No one can measure his greatness.”
Psalm 145 has so many great themes for us to explore over the next few days. I want you to keep the theme of praise in your mind throughout this week and ask yourself, “What does it mean for me to praise God?”
In these verses, there are some time references: “forever” and “every day.” Those words give us some ideas about how much praise should be a part of our lives. All consuming. Eternal. Daily from now until forever. And why praise God? Because he deserves it. He is so great nothing can even measure it. Think about something you consider extremely great. Most likely, at some point you have raved about that thing and probably have told everyone you know about it. God is greater than that. By a lot.
Here’s your freedom for today: you are most yourself when you are praising God. We are physical and spiritual beings designed uniquely for relationship with God. When that relationship is in proper alignment, we get to experience a level of freedom that is truly supernatural. When we praise God as a daily part of our existence, we step into the life we were designed to live. It is there that we best know God and best know ourselves.
