Who Should Praise the Lord?

The Bible exhorts every area of creation and every kind of creature to praise the Lord. The Bible exhorts the heavens, the earth, the sea, the forests, the rocks—there is nothing that should not praise the Lord.

It speaks about all kinds of creatures: flying creatures, creatures in the sea, crawling creatures, cattle, and wild beasts. It speaks about all the states of the human race: kings, princes, young men, old men, maidens, children—all are exhorted to praise the Lord. In fact, there is only one category of people who do not praise the Lord. You know who that is? The dead. Only the dead do not praise the Lord.

It is not the dead who praise the Lord,
those who go down to the place of silence;
it is we who extol the Lord,
both now and forevermore.

Praise the Lord.

My dear friend, if you do not praise the Lord, you know what your problem is? You are one of the dead. Not necessarily physically dead, but spiritually dead. Come alive! Begin to praise the Lord.

The more you praise the Lord, the more joy and spiritual life you will experience. Begin to praise Him right now.
