Scripture: Psalms 150: 1-6

Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.  Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.  Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.  Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.  Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.  Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.

Scripture Commentary: Make joyful sounds unto the Lord with your trumpet, harp, and cymbals

In a way, the book of Psalms parallels our spiritual journey through life.  It begins by presenting us with two roads: the way to life and the way to death.  If we choose God’s way to life, we still face both blessings and troubles, and joy and grief, and success and obstacles.

Throughout it all, God is at our side, guiding, encouraging, comforting, and caring.  As the wise and faithful person’s life draws to an end, he or she realizes clearly that God’s road is the right road.  Knowing this will cause us to praise God for leading us in the right direction and for assuring our place in the perfect world God has in store for those who have faithfully followed Him.

We have a choice to follow Our Lord Jesus Christ, do nothing, or follow a road to hell.  Jesus died for our sins, and as a result, we can be with Him.

What road are you on in your life?
