"Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord."(Psalms 150:6)
Breath check 1..2,
Inhale...exhale..1...2
Blocked nose? Open your mouth...inhale...exhale 1....2
Oxygen mask? Are you suffocating?No?...1....2
Do you have breath? Yes? Then PRAISE THE LORD!
Breath here signifies life (Gen 2:7). The verse above does not say let everything that has a car, or a job, or everything that has never been disappointed or maltreated, or everything that has had an absolutely perfect year "Praise the Lord". No. As long as you are alive praise God. When there is life there is hope.
"Everyday is another chance to get it right this time" Lauryn Hill sang this line in the song "I've gotta find peace of mind". There she shared about how the enemy had convinced her that she would never find peace of mind because she would be forever be chained to him..but then she found God to be her peace of mind "You are my peace of mind, that old me is left behind" and she could clearly see the height of Gods mercies in the way every new day He gives us the chance to live right, to make Him proud, to bear fruit that will last.
"Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for His compassion's never fail. They are new every morning great is Your faithfulness (Lamentation 3:22-23).
This year many of us at different times have done things that we know are not pleasing to God. But because of His mind blowing mercies we are still breathing, we are still alive, we have a future and a hope, we have breath!
Today and everyday, acknowledge His mercy and praise Him. Acknowledge His love, His compassion's that never fail and praise Him. "Let everything that has breath Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord."(Ps150:6)
Be Spekky...Be Spectacular
(Matt 5:14-16)
