“Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—” Psalm 103:1-2 (NIV)
This is from a song written by David. We know that many of the psalms are songs of Praise. We are used to singing hymns of praise to God when we assemble as a church. We also think of praising the Lord by words that we speak in the presence of other people. All of these things are good and we should do more of this kind of praising God. But, did you notice that our verse speaks about praise that is not by words that are spoken? It's about praise that goes on inside a person. God is aware when a person praises Him silently, in their mind or in their heart. Praise is not always expressed in words and we can praise God with our emotions in our inmost being. Throughout the day, we can be sending up praise to God for His goodness to us, for His Gift and for His many promises that He has made to us. Today, let's praise God from our soul and all that is within us by remembering His benefits.
