It Is Time To Praise Him

September 5, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Psalm 61:8
So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

     The psalmist understood what it takes to keep our word and promises to God. It takes our praise toward God. The Bible also makes it clear that God inhabits our praise. The Bible says in Psalm 22:3, “… O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.” This verse is probably referring to the Tabernacle of Praise, a special place where the children of Israel came to worship God. God promised to dwell with them in the Holy of Holies, in the Tabernacle that was built according to His specifications. Today, our body is the tabernacle where God, through the Holy Spirit, dwells. In addition, today, He still desires sincere praise and worship from His children.

     The Psalmist said praising God helped him daily perform his vows or keep his promises to God. What promises have you made to God? When you came to Him for salvation, did you promise to love Him? Then praise Him for the love He has shown you, the love He has given you, and the love He placed within you, which enables you to love Him and others in return. Did you promise to make Him Lord of your life? Then praise Him for taking someone like you and adopting you into His family. Thank Him for being willing to be your Lord and Provider. Thank Him for allowing you to serve Him in so many ways and for not expecting more of you than what He created you to be. Begin to praise the Lord and see if it is true. The Lord does inhabit your praise.

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

    Oh, how I love Jesus, Oh, how I love Jesus, Oh, how I love Jesus Because He First Loved Me… What vows have you made to the Lord? It is time to praise Him today.

Have you made any Vows to the Lord lately?

IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:

Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this Passage and today’s Devotion?

Do I find within this reading a CHALLENGE for my life?

What are one or two things I WILL DO today or this week to accept that CHALLENGE?
