Psalm 149 is another
great lesson on praise.
Psalm 149:1
Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the godly!
Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the godly!
Psalm 149:2-4
Let Israel be glad in his Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King! Let them praise his name with dancing, making melody to him with tambourine and lyre! For the LORD takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with salvation.

God wants to be in a
relationship with His people. We worship Him and we rejoice because He loves us
first. He adorns the humble with salvation and in humility, we offer back our
praise. We praise Him in song and dance.
Psalm 149:5-9
Let the godly exult in glory; let them sing for joy on their beds. Let the high praises of God be in their throats and two-edged swords in their hands, to execute vengeance on the nations and punishments on the peoples, to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with fetters of iron, to execute on them the judgment written! This is honor for all his godly ones. Praise the LORD!

The Christian life is
a life of warfare, but the weapons we yield are not physical. Our battles are
spiritual and we fight with praise, with prayer, and with the Word of God as
our sword. Those who are in Christ are already the victors, for Jesus has
overcome the great enemy of man, death.
This very day we have
much to praise and thank God for. Romans
8:37 tells us that “in all these things we are more than conquerors
through him who loved us.”
So, if you are
struggling in your personal battle this very day, if you are having a hard time
finding cause to praise God, then stop and remember the truth of the Apostle
Paul as written in Romans 8:38-39, “For
I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things
present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything
else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in
Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Nothing can separate us
from the love of God in our Lord, Christ Jesus. Nothing. So, right now, Praise
the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the godly!
