“Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. From the rising of the sun and the going down of the same the LORD’S name is to be praised.”

-Psalm.113:2,3

This verses tell us that we have some responsibilities. First, we are to praise God. It’s tragic when we forget to praise the Lord. How can a person really enjoy a beautiful sunrise or a sunset, a beautiful spring day or even a beautiful winter day, if he can’t thank the One who creates these things? God deserves our praise, for He does so much for us.

The psalmist also tells us to praise God all day long (v.3). Praise Him when you have to get up in the morning. Praise Him when you are tired at the end of the day. Praise Him during the day for the good things that happen and for the difficult things. Give Him thanks for seeing you through every situation.

We also should praise Him all over the world. What are we doing about those who do not know the Lord, the many who have never heard about Jesus Christ and His salvation? Let’s begin by witnessing right where we are. Let’s pray and give. Missionaries and Evangelists need our support. Perhaps God wants you to go and carry the Gospel message overseas.

Think about it.

God has attached a responsibility to your privilege of praising Him. You’ll never run out of reasons to praise the Lord. Your praise to Him should encompass the whole day and the whole world. Is praise part of your daily walk with the Lord?
