Praise The Creator

Scripture:

Psalm 148:5 "Let every created thing give praise to the Lord, for He issued his command, and they came into being".

Observation:

The Psalmist tells everything created, which is everything we see around us, to give praise to the Lord. He then tells why, because He gave the command and they were created. Without Him, no created thing would even exist. Therefore, all creation should praise His name.

Application:

The Lord is our creator. He made the heavens and the earth, and He made us. We are the work of His hands, therefore He deserves the glory, honor and praise. Sometimes we look for a reason to praise God. We should praise Him simply because He created us. We don't need any other influence or miracle in order to praise Him. He is worthy of all praise and doesn't need to give us any further reason to praise Him than the fact that He created us.

Prayer:

Lord God Almighty, Lord of heaven and of earth. You are amazing and I praise You. You created me, therefore I will praise You. I will give Your praise, not only because of something wonderful You have done for me, but simply because You are God who created me. That's more than enough!
