Christian Perspectives - Praise Him, You Who Serve The Lord


Praise Him, You Who Serve The Lord

Greetings Reader

Are you called to serve the Lord? If so, the Psalmist has a command for you in Psalm 135:

“Praise the Lord! Praise the name of the Lord! Praise him, you who serve the Lord, you who serve in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God. Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; celebrate his lovely name with music.” Psalm 135:1–3

While God desires everyone’s praise, there is something special about the praise that comes from those who faithfully serve Him.

And near the end of this passage, the Psalmist gives us a wonderful reason to praise God: because the Lord is good.

Sometimes, when we are busy serving the Lord, we can become so focused on what we are doing for Him that we forget to stop and praise Him for who He is.

Today’s devotion looks at the first seven verses of Psalm 135 and reminds us why those who serve the Lord should also be people who praise the Lord. I hope this devotion encourages you today.

God Bless,
Robin

Shout Joyfully To The Living God Greetings Reader Psalm 84 is one of those Psalms tucked a little past the halfway point in the book of Psalms. You may not be very familiar with it, but I’m sure you’ve heard some quotes from it. Here is one of the more popular ones. “A single day in your courts is better than a thousand anywhere else!” Psalm 84:10 You have probably heard the rest of that verse as well. “I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of my God than live the good life in the homes...

Experience The Sweet Fragrance Of Christ Greetings Reader Have you ever considered what your life smells like to God? That may sound like a strange question, but the Bible uses the picture of a fragrance to describe a life that pleases Him. Our devotion begins with a woman pouring expensive perfume upon Jesus. While others criticized her and called it a waste, Jesus saw something entirely different. From there, we will look at what Paul meant when he wrote: “Our lives are a Christ-like...

Introducing The Unexpected Men Jesus made To Be Disciples Greetings Reader In this devotion, we’ll take a quick look at each of the disciples and where they came from. These men were unexpected choices made by Jesus to be His disciples. Many people followed Jesus. In fact, Luke 10 tells us that He appointed seventy others and sent them out in pairs. But from among His followers, Jesus chose twelve men for a very special purpose. I'm ashamed to say this, but I can hear some church leaders...
