| Wholehearted Praise |
| “Praise ye the Lord. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation” (Psalm 111:1). |
| In this verse, we are first of all given a command to praise the Lord. Then, we are given the example of the inspired writer, who declares that he is going to wholeheartedly praise the Lord in fellowship with others who have the same desire. |
| For many of us, we will have this opportunity and privilege today. It is wonderful to praise the Lord each day of the week, but there is also the privilege of gathering together with other believers collectively for this purpose. We are encouraged to, “Come before His presence with singing … . Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His name” (Psalm 100:2,4). |
| Remember too, that the Lord doesn’t want just halfhearted praise, He wants wholehearted praise. Is your heart full of praise today? David declared “I will praise Thee with my whole heart” (Psalm 138:1). |
