Praise God!

How often do we stop and praise God?  He has given so much for us, loved us, cared for us, protected us, walked with us…

As part of our Lenten journey, we can take time…

Perhaps this Psalm gives us the opportunity to reflect on what God has done in our lives, and to thank him.

Let’s take some time to praise God:

Psalm 135:1-14

1Shout praises to the LORD!

You are his servants,

so praise his name.

2All who serve in the temple

of the LORD our God,

3come and shout praises.

Praise the name of the LORD!

He is kind and good.

4He chose the family of Jacob

and the people of Israel

for his very own.

5The LORD is much greater

than any other god.

6He does as he chooses

in heaven and on earth

and deep in the sea.

7The LORD makes the clouds rise

from far across the earth,

and he makes lightning

to go with the rain.

Then from his secret place

he sends out the wind.

8The LORD killed the first-born

of people and animals

in the land of Egypt.

9God used miracles and wonders

to fight the king of Egypt

and all of his officials.

10He destroyed many nations

and killed powerful kings,

11including King Sihon

of the Amorites

and King Og of Bashan.

He conquered every kingdom

in the land of Canaan

12and gave their property

to his people Israel.

13The name of the LORD

will be remembered forever,

and he will be famous

for all time to come.

14The LORD will bring justice

and show mercy

to all

who serve him.

What about you?

Thank you Lord!
