I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.
Psalm 34:1-3
When we put into practice praising the LORD individually, we will be more likely to praise Him corporately and unashamedly with one or two brothers or sisters in Christ. The progression of David’s words is like an old fashion steam engine taking out from a depot. Momentum is given. Praise will continually be in our mouths when our souls boast in the Lord. A picture of true depth is painted by David’s choice of words.
O that our souls would make its boast in the Lord. We, often time, live in the shallow end when spiritually speaking we should be spending our lives in the deep end. It takes a “want to,” when it comes to magnifying the Lord.
I will never forget a blazing hot day a few years back. I had been hired to trim a yard full of shrubs and bushes. I felt like I had limped to the finish line of that long, hot job. A blessing was awaiting me. Myself and the man who had hired me gathered ourselves together under that hot sun filled sky and took time to praise the LORD. My clothes might have been soaked, but my heart was filled with joy.
Let’s make it a priority and a practice to take the time to praise the LORD. I pray our words will match David’s, “O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.”
