Psalm 150, Apocalypse 4: 1-11. Luke 19:11-28

The power of praise

The Psalms of David, written for choristers and instrumentalists, cover the huge range of human emotions included in our worship of God. God clearly welcomes many instruments and voices, however feeble, to be lifted up to glorify Him. Not only does this praise energize us, but it also acts as an antidote to indifference or even hostility. There is therapeutic value in this activity. When did you last praise God with every fibre of your being?
