The Lord Jesus Christ is worthy of our Worship. Psalm 45:11 declares “So the King will greatly desire your beauty; because He is your Lord worship Him! The Psalmist also states in Psalm 95 : 6-7 “O come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the Lord our  maker, for He is our God and we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand.”  A very important hallmark of entering the divine presence to come abundantly before Him invoking a rich abundant spirit of praise. We are expressing our love to the Lord through the medium of praise.  A note in my Spirit Life Bible about Psalm 95:6-11 says “Humble yourself before the Lord, through bowing and kneeling in worship. Open your heart to Him and to His will.”

The Lord desires that we, His people pour out our hearts of praise to Him. Psalm 145: 14- 21 boldly declares “The Lord upholds all who fall and raises up all who are bowed down. The eyes all look expectantly to You and You give them their food in due season. You open your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing. The Lord is righteous in all of His ways, gracious in all of His works. The Lord is near to all who call upon Him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He will hear their cry and save them. The Lord preserves all who love Him but all the wicked He will destroy. My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord, and all flesh shall bless His holy name, forever and ever.”  It is not only the Psalmist praising God, but so do all those who wait upon the Lord. He shall bless them. We are to pray without ceasing. We are to wait upon Him. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 states “Pray without ceasing!” Isaiah 40:31 says “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary and they shall walk and not faint.”

In Psalm 149: 1-9 we read of Praise to God for His Salvation and Judgment.  “Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song and His praise in the assembly of saints Let Israel rejoices in their Maker’ Let the Children of Zion be joyful in their King. Let them praise His name with the dance, let them sing praises to Him with the tumbrels and harp.  For the Lord take pleasure in His people. He will beautify the humble with salvation. Let the saints be joyful in glory. Let them sing aloud on their beds. Let the high praises of God be in their
