“Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.” Psalm 111:1 (KJV)
Boasting seems to be a trait of all humanity. Men and women do it quite frequently. I do it. My friends and family does it. Boasting about our achievements, our children, our work, our recreation, our homes, our cars; well, you get the picture.
What does this verse have to do with “Boasting”? The first “Praise” is for the part of the word we use “Halleujah” which means “Praise the LORD” or to boast of Him. What more can we boast of than the greatness of our God, our Saviour, our King, and our LORD.
The second “Praise” has to do with our reverence and worship to the One who is worthy. When you feel like boasting of your greatness; think again of the Greatness of the only One who is worthy of our boasting.
Our whole heart, soul, mind, and strength should be given to boasting of the greatness of the Lord. Let it be seen in your life.
Lord, let it be seen in my life.
