When was the last time that we have all paused and take a moment to just stay amazed at God, just to pour out praises to Him, just to exalt Him. We're so busy chasing after things in life or perhaps it was things in life that was chasing after us and we're busy running from it all. When was the last time we paused to marvel at His fingerprints in our life to praise Him for His hands upon things in our life or we just take a short "Thank You" as the best we give back to God for whatever marvelous works He has done in our life. The psalmist King David wrote the full psalm just to praise God's splendors and praise God endlessly for His love and His works. Not only one psalm but many psalms as well were praises were given when should. Have you ever felt tired serving in church? Tired of doings things and chasing schedules or may be it was getting tired of things chasing you to get done and schedules chasing after you. If it is so, then perhaps, we're so busy chasing after church, so busy building His body, that we forgot to take time off and marvel at the hands that guided us as we build the church, to take time to wonder and praise the works He has done through us in our service to the church. May be it is time to take a pause, step back from the busy life and open our eyes to see His fingerprints in our life, how His hands beautifully guided us and worked for our good and open our mouth to give Him full praise instead of a mere "Thank You".
Psalm 145
1 I will exalt you, my God the King;
I will praise your name for ever and ever.
2 Every day I will praise you
and extol your name for ever and ever.
3 Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;
his greatness no one can fathom.
4 One generation commends your works to another;
they tell of your mighty acts.
5 They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty
and I will meditate on your wonderful works.
6 They tell of the power of your awesome works
and I will proclaim your great deeds.
7 They celebrate your abundant goodness
and joyfully sing of your righteousness.
8 The Lord is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and rich in love.
9 The Lord is good to all;
he has compassion on all he has made.
10 All your works praise you, Lord;
your faithful people extol you.
11 They tell of the glory of your kingdom
and speak of your might,
12 so that all people may know of your mighty acts
and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.
13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and your dominion endures through all generations.
The Lord is trustworthy in all he promises
and faithful in all he does.
14 The Lord upholds all who fall
and lifts up all who are bowed down.
15 The eyes of all look to you,
and you give them their food at the proper time.
16 You open your hand
and satisfy the desires of every living thing.
17 The Lord is righteous in all his ways
and faithful in all he does.
18 The Lord is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth.
19 He fulfills the desires of those who fear him;
he hears their cry and saves them.
20 The Lord watches over all who love him,
but all the wicked he will destroy.
21 My mouth will speak in praise of the Lord.
Let every creature praise his holy name
for ever and ever.
