Although the subject is mentioned in 64 chapters in the book and 132 times, it is most used in Psalm 148. “Praise” is mentioned eight times in this chapter. It is important to God that you praise Him. I learned a long time ago if you hear or read something from God, pay attention. If you hear it more than once, you better be doing what you are shown. If God says “praise” as many times as He has said it in this Psalm, you had better be giving it your undivided attention and make it a priority in your life. Praise God: For His mightiness and creation that is unseen by us, including His Heaven, angels, and the multitudes with Him (Psalm 148:1-2). For His incredible creation that is too vast for our eyes and imagination, including the sun, moon, stars, and things that are higher than th...

It is a reminder that we can praise Him with so many means. We can praise God with music (Psalm 150:3-6). However, verse six states that any breathing creature should also praise Him. This could include animals, reptiles, and fish. “Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.” Psalm 150:6 Since we do not know the minds of God’s other creatures, how do we not know that they also have an understanding that there is something greater than they to whom they owe their gratitude? Could it be that my Labrador happily running among the snowflakes is grateful in her own way for the crisp, clear day that the Lord has given her? Perhaps, the trumpeting call of an elephant in the early morning is not just summoning his companions, ...
Daily Nugget: In Acts 9, we read of Saul, later named Paul, and how he became a changed man when he was saved and allowed Jesus to become his life’s master. Paul never forgot his past. In Acts 26, while Paul gave his testimony to King Agrippa, he gave more detail of how he persecuted Christians and how he was an enemy of God and His people. Paul recalls that: He did many things to oppose Jesus Christ and His testimony (Acts 26:9). He had Christians imprisoned for their beliefs (Acts 26:10). He had them killed for their beliefs (Acts 26:10) He testified against them in legal proceedings (Acts 26:10). He punished them (Acts 26:11). He caused some to blaspheme against God (Acts 26:11). He was very angry at them and what they were teaching (Acts 26:11). He traveled to different cities to make their lives miserable and to persecute them (Acts 26:11-12). What an evil man Paul was before he was saved. How vehemently he opposed Jesus and those that trusted Him as Saviou...
