Praise The Lord For He Is Worthy

 "Praise be to The LORD, for He showed His wonderful love to me when I was in a besieged city."  Psalms 31:21 (NIV)

King David told the people that he praised The Lord because He showed His wonderful love to him many times in the past when he was in trouble.

David was grateful for God's marvelous loving kindness which He had shown to him in the past, and because God had shown him favor and taken care of him in the past, he was confident that God would continue to do so in the future.  We should praise The Lord for the same reasons.  We should praise The Lord because He is good. (Psalms 106:1, Psalms 135:3, and Jeremiah 33:11)  We should praise The Lord for the great things that He has done. (Deuteronomy 11:7, 1 Samuel 12:24, Psalms 126:3, and Luke 1:49)  We should praise The Lord for His mighty acts. (Psalms 106:2 and Psalms 150:2)  We should praise The Lord because He alone is worthy of praise. (1 Chronicles 16:25, Psalms 48:1, Psalms 96:4, and Psalms 145:3)  We should praise The Lord because He loves us, and there is no greater love than His love for us. (Psalms 117:2)   Praise The Lord!!!
