Halal (הָלַל) - To celebrate and shine with joy
“Praise (halal) the Lord. Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in His mighty heavens” (Psalm 150:1 NIV).
Halal is where our word “hallelujah” comes from, it means to boast, to celebrate, to shine with joy. This is not quiet, polite worship. It’s the kind of praise that can’t be contained because your heart overflows with gratitude.
When you Halal, you’re saying, “God, You’ve been too good for me to stay silent.”
It’s celebrating who He is, loudly and joyfully, no matter the season. You don’t wait until everything is perfect—you praise because He is perfect.
Real Halal isn’t about hype; it’s about heart. It’s about boasting in God, not yourself. It’s about shifting your focus from what’s wrong in your world to what’s right in His.
As you Halal, you begin to see your problems shrink in the light of His greatness. You realize worship doesn’t change God, it changes you.
PRAYER:
God, fill my heart with joy that overflows in praise. Let my life shine with gratitude and point others to You. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

About this Plan
These seven words—or postures of the heart—help remind us how and why we give God praise. They come from Hebrew words used throughout the Old Testament to describe different expressions of worship. They are some of the most powerful and descriptive, giving us a deeper understanding of what God means when He invites us to worship Him. As you go through each of these seven words this week, take time to be intentional—not just with your words or songs, but with the posture of your heart in worship.
