Psalm chapter 146, verses 1 and 2.

Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord, oh my soul.

I will praise the Lord as long as I live.

I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

Oh, I love these verses as the psalmist is talking to himself.

Oh, my soul, saying praise the Lord and then says, I will praise the Lord.

As long as I live, I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. As long as I have a being, I will sing praises to God.

And I think about a hymn that was written by Isaac Watts that is based on this Psalm. And I love the first stanza of it and actually repeats at the end so let me just

read it isaac watts wrote i'll praise my maker while i've breathed and when my voice is lost in death

praise shall employ my nobler powers. My days of praise shall

ne'er be past while life and thought and being last, or immortality endures.

Oh, isn't that good? Isaac Watts is pointing out what Psalm 146-2 is saying that we as

children of God will always have been. So even when we die, we will still be praising God because

we will continue on. So we will praise be praising God because we will continue on.

So we will praise God in life and we will praise God in death and beyond death forever and ever.

That's where Isaac Watts puts it this way.

I'll praise my maker while I've breath.

Then when my voice is lost in death,

praise shall employ my nobler powers. My days of praise shall ne'er be past while life and thought

and being last or immortality endures. Like we're never going to stop praising the Lord from our souls, giving glory to God for His grace, his mercy, his power, his love.

This is our life forever. So let's do it today. Let's not forget that prayer starts with praise, adoration, thanksgiving to God,
