Then Sings My Soul - Cries Of The Heart From The PsalmsÀpẹrẹ
Psalm 150:2, 6
Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to the abundance of his greatness…Every breathing thing, let it praise Yahweh. Praise Yahweh.
The climax of all of our prayers is praise to You, oh God! Our exuberance explodes as we speak of Your presence here on earth. And thunderous applause fills Your throne room of heaven. We whistle and cheer, stirring up joyful commotion as we remember and testify to everything You have done! Our jaws drop in awe as we contemplate all that You are. Our passion fingers the strings of instruments and composes melodies overflowing with praise. Cymbals give celebratory clashes and horns signal festive rejoicing! May everything with breath give You praise, oh Lord!
Application: How might you recognize who God has been and what He has done in the past 21 days?
The ceasing of work with the Sabbath rest includes the celebration of all that is good and the complete delight in all God has done. How do you feel after co-laboring with the Spirit along this 21-day journey of prayer? How might you celebrate who He has been to you and honor the things you’ve seen Him do?
Kids tip: Throw a party to celebrate all the ways your family has seen God at work over the past 21 days. Make signs. Bake a cake. Take turns sharing testimonies around the dinner table. Make up a simple cheer for God and do it together. Sing some praise songs and make some noise on instruments or even pots and pans!
