Glorify Him!!!

Yesterday we looked at where to praise (glorify Jesus) but what and how are to do this, let's look at the rest of the psalm to find out.

3 Praise Him with trumpet sound;

Praise Him with harp and lyre.

4 Praise Him with tambourine and dancing;

Praise Him with stringed instruments and flute.

5 Praise Him with loud cymbals;

Praise Him with resounding cymbals.

6 Everything that has breath shall praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord! Psalm 150:3-6 NASB

So, after we read these verses, we know that we are to praise God with all kinds of instruments. What would that have looked like back then? It's similar to our worship bands today I imagine. But I do not see the harp, lyre, or flutes in our worship bands today. 

Let’s come before His presence with a song of thanksgiving, Let’s shout joyfully to Him in songs with instruments. Psalm 95:2 NASB

We are to praise God with all that we have using instruments, but it doesn't stop there, we are to dance to praise (glorify God). Yes, we are to dance before God to praise Him. We are to use all that strength that is talked about in Mark 12:30.

and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ Mark 12:30

There is one more thing we are to do to praise/glorify Jesus and that is the use of all our breath. we are to praise God with all our breath as I researched. This means we are to use our voice to praise (glorify Jesus) with all that we have. We are to get loud, shout, and speak praise to God 24/7, we know this because we breathe 24/7.

My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to You; And my soul, which You have redeemed. Psalm 71:23 NASB

So, the ways we are to praise (glorify Jesus) God are to use instruments, dance, and use our voice which is our breath.

So, go forth and use these things to praise (glorify Jesus) God.
