To start off this psalm talks about where to praise. The psalm lists sanctuary and His heavens are where we are to praise. To me, as read I this, the one writing this is conveying a place to praise on earth which is the sanctuary, and one that is of course not on this earth and that is heaven. We are to praise in the sanctuary which means your church. Within a church the place where worship and hearing a message is called a sanctuary. Back in the days of this Psalm, it would have been the temple. We are to come together and praise God (Jesus) in His house which is the church and, in this instance, to be more specific the sanctuary.
No greater place than at your local church to praise right? One place comes to mind and that place is heaven which is the second place we are to praise God (Jesus). One day when we make it to heaven, we will praise God (Jesus) There. We will be among the other angels and praise God in Heaven.
15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. Hebrews 13:15 KJV
Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker! Psalm 95:6 ESV
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. Colossians 3:16 ESV
This kind of praise is supposed to happen in the sanctuary.
19 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Psalm 19:1 KJV
148 Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the heights.
2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts. Psalm 148:1-2 KJV
This kind of praise is supposed to happen in Heaven as well.
Tomorrow, we continue to look at Psalm 150 and this idea of Glorifying Him!!!
