The Lord Is To Be Praised

"From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of The LORD is to be praised."  Psalms 113:3 (NIV)

The psalmist states that God is to be praised from sunrise until sunset, literally all day long.  This implies that Christians ought to be continually praising God.

We are to praise God all from the first thing in the morning until the last thing at night.  Some of us wake up before the sun rises, and most of us stay up long after the sun sets.  So, we are to spend every waking moment praising The Lord.  We should strive to live in such a way that all we think, say, and do will give God glory.  If we could do that, we would live a perfect life.  However, due to our sinful nature, such is not humanly possible.  But just because that kind of perfection is not possible to attain, does not mean that it is not a goal that is well worth striving for.  We should all want to sing the song "Praise Is What I Do" and mean it.  Let's praise The Lord everyday, multiple times each day, and not just on Sundays.  Praising God is not just an action, it is an attitude, a way of life.  We should also sing "Praise Is Who I am" and mean that too.
