One of the most important questions ever asked is “why am I here”? It’s usually followed by an equally important question, what is my purpose? The answer to these questions and more are found in God’s written word. As we are continuing our focus on The Hallelujah Psalms, (the last five psalms in our Bible, 146-150), today’s Psalm 148, tells us why we exist. Family, like all of God’s creation, we were created to praise & worship The Living God.
Today’s Focus: Psalm 148 “All Of God’s Creation Was Created To Praise & Worship HIM”
1. Our God Is Praised & Worshiped In The Heavens!
Psalm 148:1 Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens; Praise Him in the heights! 2 Praise Him, all His angels;Praise Him, all His hosts! 3 Praise Him, sun and moon; Praise Him, all you stars of light! 4 Praise Him, you heavens of heavens, And you waters above the heavens! 5 Let them praise the name of the Lord, For He commanded and they were created. 6 He also established them forever and ever; He made a decree which shall not pass away.
*Sadly Satan & His Followers Rebelled Against God!
Revelation 12:7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they [a]did not prevail, nor was a place found for [b]them in heaven any longer. 9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
2. Our God Shall Be Praised & Worshiped On The Earth!
Psalm 148:7 Praise the Lord from the earth, You great sea creatures and all the depths; 8 Fire and hail, snow and clouds; Stormy wind, fulfilling His word; 9 Mountains and all hills; Fruitful trees and all cedars; 10 Beasts and all cattle; Creeping things and flying fowl; 11 Kings of the earth and all peoples; Princes and all judges of the earth; 12 Both young men and maidens; Old men and children 13 Let them praise the name of the LORD, For His name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven.
*Sadly All of Mankind Rebelled against God!
Genesis 6:5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. 7 So the Lord said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” Genesis 6:8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
3. Our God Will Be Praised & Worshiped By All The Saints!
Saint חָסִיד (ḥāsîḏ) = The Faithful, Kind Hearted, Godly, Holy & Pious
Psalm 148:14 And He has exalted the horn of His people, The praise of all His saints-Of the children of Israel, A people near to Him. Praise the Lord!
Like In The Days Of Noah, All Who Follow Jesus Are Saints!!
John 15:1-3 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He [a]takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
Let's Worship The Living God Together!
