Hymn of Heaven: A 12 Day Devotional With Phil WickhamSample

Heart Full of Praise

Passage: Psalm 145

We’ve come to the final day of this devotional series. Thank you so much for joining me as we’ve unpacked some thoughts and scriptures behind these twelve songs. The final song we look at today is “Heart Full of Praise.” I placed this song at the end of my record because it’s where I hoped and prayed hearts would be by the time they arrived at this point of the album—and it’s where I hope you find your heart today as well: full of praise to the One who deserves; the One who rescues, calls, redeems, restores, and revives; the One who created all things and sits in the high and holy place, yet beside you as a friend today.

So today I encourage you to read the following scripture and to be intentionally full of praise. Sing to Him a new song. Maybe even pull this song up wherever you listen to music, and let your worship overflow into your homes, cubicles, cars, and coffee shops. No matter where you find yourself today, He is worthy of it.

“I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever and ever.

Every day I will praise you and extol your name for ever and ever. Great is the

Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. One

generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts.

They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty—and I will meditate on

your wonderful works. They tell of the power of your awesome works—and I

will proclaim your great deeds. They celebrate your abundant goodness and

joyfully sing of your righteousness...My mouth will speak in praise of the Lord.

Let every creature praise his holy name for ever and ever” (Ps. 145:1-7,

21).
