Psalm 148
Praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord from the heavens;
praise him in the heights above.Praise him, all his angels;
praise him in the heights above.Praise him, all his angels;
praise him, all his heavenly hosts.
Praise him, sun and moon;
praise him, all you shining stars.
Praise him, you highest heavens
and you waters above the skies.
Praise him, sun and moon;
praise him, all you shining stars.
Praise him, you highest heavens
and you waters above the skies.
Let them praise the name of the Lord,
for at his command they were created,
and he established them for ever and ever—
he issued a decree that will never pass away.

Praise the Lord from the earth,
you great sea creatures and all ocean depths,
lightning and hail, snow and clouds,
stormy winds that do his bidding,
you mountains and all hills,
fruit trees and all cedars,
wild animals and all cattle,
small creatures and flying birds,
kings of the earth and all nations,
you princes and all rulers on earth,
young men and women,
old men and children.

Let them praise the name of the Lord,
for his name alone is exalted;
his splendor is above the earth and the heavens.
And he has raised up for his people a horn,
the praise of all his faithful servants,
of Israel, the people close to his heart.

Praise the Lord.
Can you see it? Do you get a wonderful visual picture of this in your head?I do. I can see it now, all of the heavens, skies, tree, birds, and even the cattle, praising the Lord. Wouldn't that truly be awesome. I know that I would stand in awe, seeing animals and trees and rocks and fish praising the Lord.
As a kid I used to love driving with my family to British Colombia, Canada. We would drive through the mountains and I would sit staring out my window in awe of their enormity. I remember so many times just wishing and praying that they would start crying out to God. That I would get to be in the mountains when the rocks and trees would cry out in worship to him. Can you imagine being there and witnessing that. Hubby and I drove to Banff a few years ago and I still get that picture in my head, as an adult. And I still hope that if it even was to happen, that I would be there.
I want to live my life out as praise to the Father. I don't want to waste a moment here on earth, and I am excited to spend eternity in praise and worship to the King.
