Praise
“I will praise Thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all Thy marvellous works.”
(Psalm 9:1).
“I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation” (Psalm 111:1).
“I will praise thee with my whole heart” (Psalm 138:1).
David praised the Lord a lot. He was a man who appreciated very much what the Lord had done for him. And yet King David really didn’t understand about forgiveness of sins, a home in heaven and all the things we know as a result of Christianity and through the teachings of the New Testament. He never knew the Lord Jesus Christ as a man, or God as his Father in the same way we do. How much more, then, we should be able to praise the Lord for everything He has done for us. He died to save us. He shed His blood to wash away our sins. He has prepared a wonderful home in heaven for us, called the Father’s house. He’s coming again to take us there. Surely we have every reason to praise the Lord with our whole heart.
