“Rejoice in the Lord, O you uncompromisingly righteous; you upright, in right standing with God; for praise is becoming and appropriate for those who are upright in heart” (Ps. 33:1).
Praise. According to the Word of God, that’s the most appropriate, becoming thing that you as a believer can do.
Let me warn you though, God’s idea of “appropriate” praise and your idea of appropriate praise may well be two very different things. The praise He calls for is joyous and uninhibited. And, at times, it’s just plain loud!
If you don’t believe it, look in the Bible and see the kind of praise that goes on in heaven. Read Isaiah 6 and find out how they act in the throne room. The seraphim shout in there until the doorposts shake! And when they do, the glory of the Lord fills the house.
When you get to heaven, you’re going to be praising like that, too. You’re going to be leaping and praising God with every part of your being. But don’t wait until then to start. Begin now.
Decide today that instead of praising God the way you like, you are going to start doing it the way He likes. Begin to release those praises joyously, uninhibitedly. Don’t wait until you get to heaven to praise God with all your being. Do it now. He deserves it!
