PRAISE is a word we find again and again in the BIBLE. But have you ever counted the word “praise” in Psalm 150, the last Psalm?
Please do it and find out.

In the Bible we find also many examples of praise to God. Here are three:
A. Second Chronicles 5:13,14:
BECAUSE OF PRAISE, “the temple of the LORD was filled with a cloud, and the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD filled the temple of God.”
B. Second Chronicles 20:22:
BECAUSE OF PRAISE, “the LORD set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated.”
C. Acts 16:25
BECAUSE OF PRAISE, several things happened:
- “other prisoners were listening”
- “a violent earthquake”
- “the foundations of the prison were shaken.”
- “prison doors flew open”
- “everybody’s chains came loose.”
Psalm 150 has only 6 verses, but we find the word “Praise” 13 times in that Psalm.
I believe that things will happen in our life, in our family and in our community once we begin to praise the Lord.
And let us remember that Paul and Silas prayed and sang hymns to God in prison in the middle of the night.
