Scripture: Psalms 150: 6

Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.

Scripture Commentary: Let me live that I may praise you

How could the message be more clear?  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.  The road to eternal life is with Jesus Christ.

Which road are you on?  If you choose God’s way to life, you will still face both blessings and hardships, joy and grief, successes and obstacles.  However, God is at your side, guiding, encouraging, comforting, are caring.

The writer tells us to give thanks to God for He truly loves you.  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, but don’t wait until the end of your life to accept Christ.  Do it now!

Go and tell everyone how He has loved you despite yourself.  Knowing and accepting God for leading you in the right direction and for assuring your place in His Kingdom will put praise for Him on your lips.  Let your voice tell the world how He loves you.

What a fitting way to end Psalms with encouragement for you to praise God.
