The LORD is holy, and sovereign over all. "Know that the LORD Himself is God; it is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture" (Ps. 100:3). Are you in Christ? Praise the LORD! Is your heart enraptured by the beauty of His majestic rule? Praise the Lord! Are the meditations of your heart and the words of your lips continually exalting the LORD who spoke and worlds were created? Praise the LORD! Is your hope and great expectation for the revealing of the Son of God in His glory that the nations may tremble before His majesty? Praise the LORD! Are your circumstances easy or are they hard? Praise the LORD, for in all things He is working for your sanctification and good. Have you enjoyed a measure of earthly success? Praise the LORD, for it is He who gives you the ability to prosper. Are you mindful of characteristics and abilities within your person that others deem favorably? Praise the LORD, for they are gifts of God. Is there a deficiency you manage daily in your stature? Praise the LORD, for the Potter creates all vessels according to His wisdom and for His glory. In all things and through all things praise the LORD who alone is worthy of worship. Praise the LORD!
