At All Times...

King David said, "I will bless Yahweh at all times. His praise will always be in my mouth." Psalm 34:1 (World English Bible)

Our Heavenly Father is worthy of our praise at ALL times. David knew this and despite being hotly pursued by Saul he continued to praise Yah. In fact the word Halleluyah means precisely that. Translated it says, "Praise Yah you people". I especially like to think of the women prophets of old who took up timbrels and harps, playing upon them while singing songs of praise and worship to Yah for all His mighty works. The first praise band!

We have so much to praise God for. Our life now and the real life which is to come in His Kingdom on earth. Daily provisions, loving fellowship with one another and an earth full of natural beauty. His protection and guidance. If we do nothing else at the end of the day, we should thank and praise Yah for His many blessings, especially those so richly supplied in Christ. Indeed the richest of all blessings is that Yeshua came to give us fullness of life now and that which is to come. That would be life in the coming age under his rule and authority as God's agent for salvation and grace.

So remember that our gracious Father is due honor and praise at all times. It doesn't matter how our day went or what is going on in our lives. These are temporal things, quickly passing away. Set your heart on the things above and give Yah the glory no matter what!

PRAYER: Merciful Heavenly Father, I know that I do not praise and honor you nearly enough. Give me a complete heart to do this even while being faced with difficult circumstances. You are deserving of all of my praise and worship so let me bless Your name at all times. In Yeshua's way, Amen.
