Read Psalm 66:2
Praising God is not optional—it’s essential. It’s more than a pleasant act of worship; it’s a sacred duty and a natural response to His goodness. Every believer who has received His grace is called to give Him glory every single day.
You may not find a strict command that says, “Sing to God at this hour,” but the love of Christ written in your heart should move you to do so freely. Just as breathing is natural to life, praise should be natural to the redeemed heart.
Sometimes we forget to praise because of weariness, sadness, or worry. But even in those moments, God is worthy of all honor. In fact, praise in the middle of pain is often the sweetest sound heaven hears—it shows trust, love, and faith that transcends feelings.
You were created to glorify Him. Every blessing, every answered prayer, every mercy you’ve received is an invitation to sing His praise. Don’t let your harp hang in silence. Let your voice rise with gratitude in the morning and thanksgiving in the evening. Let the world hear your song and see your joy, so that even your life becomes a melody that honors His name.
Life Application
Begin each day with a song of thanks, even before you ask God for anything. Use your blessings—your voice, your time, your gifts—to make His name known. Praise Him not only in church, but in your home, your work, and your waiting.
Prayer
Father, You are worthy of all praise. Forgive me for the times I’ve been silent when I should have sung. Let my heart overflow with gratitude and my mouth speak of Your goodness. May my life be a song that brings You joy—every note a reminder that You are my Redeemer, my loving and faithful King. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Bp. Paul Solomon Maglaya
