S- Shout Praises. Today we will be talking about shouting praises and the best place to start is the Bible. And they sang one to another in praising and giving thanks unto Jehovah, saying, For he is good, for his lovingkindness endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised Jehovah, because the foundation of the house of Jehovah was laid. Ezra 3:11 ASV. It's not by me that I say this but the Bible says they shouted with greatness when they praised Jehovah. Our paise is to be loud and authoritative. Psalm 71:23 (ASV) says, My Lips Shall shout for joy when I sing Praises unto thee; And my soul, which thou has redeemed. we are to shout for joy when we praise.
This doesn't mean that the shout we are talking about is to yell from the top of your lungs all the time. But worship should come from the heart, from your inner most being and when it comes from that you may want to yell it from the rooftops and by all means go for it. The kind of shout that we our taking about is giving the praise unto God not just talking them but lifting them up to Jesus. In church you hear the pastor or the worship say give shout of praise to God or give God praise that is kind of shout we are talking about.
In my soul and all the fiber of my being your praise/shout needs to match what you have gone through. Take time today to see if your shout/praise matches what God has brought you through. One of my favorite movies is Sister Act and there is a song in Sister act two when they are in the assemble singing and sister Marty Clarance Looks around after the boy sings giving his all. The next time your pastor or worship leader say shout/give praise to God shout as loud as you can and if you get head turns just tell them that I want my praise to match what God has done for me.
Come, let’s sing for joy to the Lord, Let’s shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation. Psalm 95:1 ASV
Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth; Be cheerful and sing for joy and sing praises. Psalm 98:4 ASV
Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth. Psalm 100:1 ASV
Have a beyond blessed day!!!!
