“From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD’S name is to be praised” (Psalm 113:3).
How wonderful is the awesome name of the Lord Most High. He is JEHOVAH, the self-existent, eternal God. From the farthest extent to the greatest duration of time, all across every time zone and in every place the Lord is to be praised. A little over five months ago my dear Karen went Home to be with the Lord. During the twenty-five month battle with cancer and then in the weeks following her death-I will be honest with you-my heart was broken. No, not broken, probably it would be better to describe it as shattered. I had to be intentional in my praise of the Lord. At times I didn’t feel like it. But I will testify that from the rising of the sun to the going down of the same, the LORD’S name is to be praised. It really is. When I did praise Him for the many wonderful things about Him as well as the many wonderful things He is doing, my spirit was lifted and I worshipped. Really worshipped! The same can be true of you.
For today: Praise the name of the LORD. It is not only obedience; it is a privilege.
