Praise God
The apostle Peter writing to believers in Christ Jesus said,
You can praise God in many ways. The Psalmist tells us,
Praise the LORD.
With the trumpet,
With the harp and the lyre.
With the tambourine.
With dance.
With strings and flute.
With the clash of cymbals.
With resounding cymbals.
When I was much younger in the 1970's I performed with a gospel group. We combined music and dance into our repertoire.
We had an amazing time. We always said our performances blessed us more than the audience because when we performed we were preforming for God not the audience.
We always stressed to those we performed in front of that they can do what we do. You don’t necessarily need a perfectly choreographed dance routine. You just need to put on some praise music and move to the flow of the music.
If you can’t dance then sing and it doesn’t have to be in tune. All God asks is that we praise him. That being said if you are self conscious about singing simply speak words of praise to God. It is something you can do anywhere.
The other way you can praise God is to tell others about Him. Giving praise to God in your words and your deeds.
As the apostle Peter said,
The apostle Peter writing to believers in Christ Jesus said,
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation,
a people belonging to God,
that you may declare the praises of Him
who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.”
1 Peter 2:9.
So the question is if you claim to be a believer in Christ Jesus in 2018 do you praise God?You can praise God in many ways. The Psalmist tells us,
Praise the LORD.
“Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens.
Praise him for his acts of power;
praise him for his surpassing greatness.
Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
praise him with the harp and lyre,
praise him with tambourine and dancing,
praise him with the strings and flute,
praise him with the clash of cymbals,
praise him with resounding cymbals.
Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.
Praise the LORD.”
Psalm 150.
Notice the Psalmist tells us to Praise GodWith the trumpet,
With the harp and the lyre.
With the tambourine.
With dance.
With strings and flute.
With the clash of cymbals.
With resounding cymbals.
