Who Can Praise Him
March 13, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Psalm 66:8
O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:

 

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

   

    I have heard people who do not claim to be saved say, “Well praise God,” following times when it seemed trouble had been averted. Whether they even realize it or not, they are actually taking the name of the Lord our God in vain. You see to praise God, or as it is stated in today’s verse “bless our God,” is saying you believe that there is a God and that the blessings you just received came from that God. However, those who do not truly know God as their Saviour are acknowledging God as the source of their blessing, all the while living a life that rejects Him, His Son, His authority, and His salvation.

 

    When we received Jesus Christ as our salvation, the veil of sin was lifted, and true worship and praise were directed toward God. Until someone has accepted Him as their Saviour, it is vain to praise a God in whom someone has not placed their faith. So, I would ask, how can a person who denies God, denies His Son Jesus, denies His free salvation, denies His power, denies His authority, and denies His grace, turn around and truly praise Him?

 

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

    

    John 4:22a & 23-24 “Ye worship ye know not what: … But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”

    Thank God today that you can worship and praise Him because the veil of sin has been done away with by our Saviour Jesus Christ. He is our Lord and worthy of all praise.
