WHO IS TO PRAISE THE LORD?

What follows is a listing from Psalm 148 of who and what is to praise the Lord.

FROM THE HEAVENS AND THE HEIGHTS: 

His angels, His hosts,
Sun, moon, stars of light, highest heavens, waters above the heavens

WHY? 
Because He commanded and they were created.

FROM THE EARTH:

sea monsters and all deeps

lightning, hail, fog, frost, stormy wind fulfilling His orders
mountains, hills, fruitful trees, all cedars

Beasts, all cattle, creeping things, flying birds

Kings of the earth, all peoples, princes, all rulers, judges of the earth, young men, maidens, old men, children

WHY?

His name ALONE is exalted and supreme
His glory and majesty are above earth and heaven
He has lifted up a horn for His people, a song of praise for all His godly ones.

That sure does sound like ALL of creation.

That includes you and me!!

PRAISE THE LORD!!

THE WHOLE CREATION PRAISES GOD

Have you read Psalm 86?  Go get your bible and read it!  Oh, my!  God is so good!  Even the creation praises our God.  I have been around a lot of animals in my life time and if you open your eyes and look and listen, you will see them praising God.  My husband and I were at a bird sanctuary in the Catskill region of New York.  It was a moment that made you close your eyes, take a deep breath and breathe out praise.  There was nobody else there, just us, our daughter, and God's creation.  The air was brisk, a gentle breeze, and a pair of Canadian geese.  This goose was praising the Creator.  Look! The wings are up, the chin is up and he or she was honking.  What a wonderful moment to experience.  We are not to worship the creation, but we can enjoy and give praise to God when we see the creation worshipping Him.
