Extra, Extra!!

Psalm 150: 4  “Praise him with timbrel and dance, praise him  with the strings and pipe”
Today marks a special day in that the calendar only makes room for it every four years.  Happy Leap Year! Our scripture shows the psalmist inviting ‘everything that has breath’ to celebrate and praise the Lord in many different ways.  He suggests that we use trumpets and harps, stringed instruments and pipes, cymbals and dancing.  He encourages us to relatively and passionately celebrate, honor and adore the lord.  Because the lord is great and has performed mighty acts on behalf of His people, He is worthy of all praise. 
These outward expressions of praise will come from an inner wellspring overflowing with gratitude to God.  Though we may celebrate the Lord in different ways, our praise to God always needs to be expressive and meaningful.  When we think about the lord’s character and His mighty acts toward us, we cannot help but celebrate him through our praise and worship. 

Every day is a good day it is up to us to make it a GREAT power-filled day.  Be blessed! Dr. JoAnn
