Psalm chapter 150, verse 6.

Let everything that has breath, praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord.

This is how these 150 Psalms, songs of praise, and trust in god and with this exhortation let everything that has breath praise the lord

you have breath today i remember specifically hearing dr chuck Chuck Kelly when I was in seminary talking about this

verse and he said, what if it was switched around?

What if instead of saying let everything that has breath praise the Lord, what if it said

let everything that praises the Lord have breath?

Like what if your every breath was dependent on it being lifted in praise to God?

And the reality is God is worthy of nothing less than every breath lifted in praise to him for his glory and his greatness and his grace

and his mercy and his justice and his power and his love.

We could just go on and on for all of his names.

You just think about all that the Psalms reveal about the mercy and goodness and grandeur and majesty and holiness of God in such a way

that we are to live our lives centered around him in worship everything revolves around God

and our every breath comes from God. So we live to praise

his name today. From the rising of the sun to the setting of the same, the name of the Lord

is to be praised and is being praised in all creation around us.

All creation is shouting the glory of God.

Just look around you today, tomorrow, at creation, and realize it's all declaring his glory

in a Romans one kind of way, in a Psalm 19 kind of way.

It's declaring his eternal power and divine nature.
