Scripture: Psalms 117: 1-2

O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.  For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.

Scripture Commentary: Praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord our God!  When was the last time you praised Him?  Have you ever thanked Him for all He has done for you?

If you are reading this, you should be praising Him.  He woke you up this morning, and gave you the ability to learn, to read, and to understand.

We can go through life and take things for granted and not thank God, and not tell anyone what He has done for you.

This Psalm is not only the shortest chapter in the Bible; it is also the middle chapter.

Paul quotes from this psalm in Romans 15:11 that God’s salvation is for all people, not just the Jews.  This psalm gives us reasons for praising God, His great love toward us, His faithfulness, and His grace and mercy.

Think about your life today.  Where would you be without God in it, and what would you be doing?  If He did nothing else for you, He would still be worthy of your highest praise.
