The Power of Praise: Psalm 92
“1) It is good to give thanks to the Lord And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; 2) To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning And Your faithfulness by night, 3) With the ten-stringed lute and with the harp, With resounding music upon the lyre. 4) For You, O Lord, have made me glad by what You have done, I will sing for joy at the works of Your hands. 5) How great are Your works, O Lord! Your thoughts are very deep.” Psalms 92:1-5
This Psalmist understood the importance of personal worship throughout the day and even at night. Nothing compares to delighting in God and lifting Him up in praise and worship. His theme was the lovingkindness and faithfulness of God.
If this secret was known to those living in Old Testament times, how much truer for us who know Jesus and are filled with the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 5:18-21 makes this case strongly. Take a moment and study those verses.
This kind of worship has become an integral part of my personal walk with God. I don’t wait for a church service to praise and worship God, it is part of my daily walk.
When I’m not playing the audio Bible, I’m often listening to inspirational worship music. Often, it’s in the background when we sleep.
Worship is a verb. It’s not something you watch as a spectator, it’s something you do. Worship is an event you enter into. I confess, my worship is not dull or passive.
Depending on the context, I like closing my eyes and raising my hands. I forget about those around me and dance with Jesus in the Spirit. I avoid being a spectacle, and fit into the corporate context, but I love lively and animated worship.
I have a firm suspicion that worship in heaven is both loud and lively. It’s about God. This Psalm and many others point to the power of worship.
Loosing my inhibitions in worship corresponded directly to my journey to freedom in Christ. It also accompanied my growing walk in the Spirit.
Psalm 92 is as much prescriptive as it is descriptive. It is now hard for me to imagine walking with God without including frequent times of personal praise and worship.
