Praise the Lord

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!
Psalm 150:6 NKJV

Praise the Lord
So ends the Book of Psalms, and therein is presented to us the result, as far as the earth is concerned, of the coming of the Lord into it. He is indeed the blessed Man of the first psalm, "who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but His delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law He meditates day and night" (Ps. 1:1-2). Every breath that He took was a "Hallelujah!"â€”a "Praise the Lord!" Every pulse of His devoted heart was for God; in His every word and action the Father was glorified. Every moral excellence shone in unmeasured perfection in Him.

His fruit shall appear in its season, His leaf shall never wither, and whatever He does shall prosper. Men thought His light was quenched forever when He was led to the cross, but He is coming again. He shall arise as the Sun of Righteousness, and then shall break that morning for which the saints of God have ever looked, a morning without clouds (2 Sam. 23:4). He will stamp His blessed character upon His kingdom; it will reflect His radiant glory. Then every groan and murmur and cry of anguish will be hushed, and the darkness will fly before the shining of His presence. The whole earth shall be full of the glory of the Lord, and as His every breath was a "Hallelujah!" when He was here, so everything that has breath will say, "Hallelujah!" then.

The rise and fall of kingdoms; the accumulation of serious questions; the clashing of conflicting interests which grow fiercer as the years roll onâ€”these all prove the instability of things in this world. But all these things do not disturb the one who, with the eye of faith, sees Jesus! The Morning Star, the harbinger of day, shines in the heavens and fills our hearts with hope. Yes, "Hallelujah!" The Lord is coming. Yes indeed, "Praise the Lord!"

NEGATIVE LIVING

Life comprises of positive and negative elements. As a matter of necessity, it is not good for someone to opt for negative living.
