Praise the Lord - Our Healer and Redeemer

Meditate. Praise the Lord.

Like the butterfly...Christ has given us new life.
He heals and redeems us.
Praise the Lord!


Let all that I am praise the LORD; with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name. Let all that I am praise the LORD; may I never forget the good things he does for me. He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases. He redeems me from death and crowns me with love and tender mercies. He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like the eagle's! Psalm 103:1-5

I praise the Lord with my whole heart. Praise is a wonderful thing—besides focusing on the Lord—it is uplifting to the spirit of those who are offering the praise. I don’t think that I have ever praised the Lord and felt dejected, discouraged or depressed afterwards. So, what does that tell us? Praise the Lord in the good times, the uncertain times and all the time! We can never praise the Lord too much! “Praise the Lord” occurs in 161 verses in the New Living Translation of the Bible. God’s people spontaneously praised the Lord often when God directed their path; when their prayers were answered, especially when offspring were involved; when they were successful with rebuilding the Temple; when winning at battles for their land; and throughout the Psalms in worship.  We can expect to do the same. We will be praising the Lord as a song of victory in Heaven just as John prophesied about what is going to happen in Heaven.

After this, I heard what sounded like a vast crowd in heaven shouting, "Praise the LORD! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God. ... And from the throne came a voice that said, "Praise our God, all his servants, all who fear him, from the least to the greatest." Then I heard again what sounded like the shout of a vast crowd or the roar of mighty ocean waves or the crash of loud thunder: "Praise the LORD! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns. Let us be glad and rejoice, and let us give honor to him. For the time has come for the wedding feast of the Lamb, and his bride has prepared herself."  Revelation 19:1, 5-7

Praise the LORD! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heaven! Praise him for his mighty works; praise his unequaled greatness! Psalm 150:1-2

Praise the Lord…

I will praise the LORD, and may everyone on earth bless his holy name forever and ever. Psalm 145:21

Prayer ~ Lord God…I praise You with all of my heart, with all of my soul, and with all of my might.

I will tell of the LORD's unfailing love. I will praise the LORD for all he has done. I will rejoice in his great goodness to Israel, which he has granted according to his mercy and love. Isaiah 63:7 Please Lord, continue to be merciful to the little children in Israel as they face turmoil and combat in their country.

Verses of Salvation ~ May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation—the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ—for this will bring much glory and praise to God. Philippians 1:11

God blesses the one who reads the words of this prophecy to the church, and he blesses all who listen to its message and obey what it says, for the time is near. Revelation 1:3

Time is short. Who are you reaching out to today to tell them about Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior?
