The final five Psalms, Psalm 146 through Psalm 150, all open with the same powerful call.

Praise ye the Lord. As we step into this season of Thanksgiving and praise, Scott invites us to journey through this

magnificent crescendo of worship, a study he's calling the Hallelujah Course. In the rush of everyday life,

it's easy to forget to pause and praise, not just for what God has done, but for who he is.

And when our hearts are filled with praise, our spirits are prepared for

true worship. Be sure to stay tuned to the end of the episode to learn about Scott's study of the

Psalms entitled Roadmap for Life. Let's join Scott now for today's message in the hallelujah course.

If all of us have been blessed of God, then all of us should bless God.

All of us have enjoyed the goodness of the Lord, and the response of that should be that all

of us learn to give him praise and glory.

We return today to Psalm 148, this amazing hallelujah Psalm, to see the application of it in our

own homes.

And might I just say, you have to apply it to your heart before you can apply it to

your home.

You can't teach others to praise God until you model it in your own life.

So you be a praising Christian today.

You be a thankful follower of today. You be a thankful

follower of Jesus. You be a grateful husband and a glad-hearted wife. And then you can pass that

on to the next generation. Now the first six verses, we've seen the heights of praise. He takes us

all the way to heaven. In verses 7 through 10, we've seen the depths of praise. He takes us all the way to heaven. In verses 7 through 10, we've seen the depths of praise,

all the way back to the earth and to the deep things of earth, all of creation,

exalting the Lord. Don't let the rocks cry out. You praise God
