From The Rising To the Setting of The Sun; Praise The Lord!

Sunset: Beaufort, SC
"Praise the Lord!
Praise, O servants of the Lord;
    praise the name of the Lord.
Blessed be the name of the Lord
    from this time on and forevermore.
From the rising of the sun to its setting
    the name of the Lord is to be praised.
The Lord is high above all nations,
    and his glory above the heavens."
Psalm 113:1-4 NRSV
 
What else is there to say; but, in everything praise the Lord? God has made all things wonderful. He is with us not just from the rising of the sun to its setting; but, from its setting to its rising as well. He is with us always; in the good times and in those times that seem not so good to us. God is with us and His intentions are for our good. May God open our ears to hear His good will for us and "Let everything that breathes praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!" (Psalm 150:6)

Psalm 113 - Sunrise To Sunset

"Let the name of the Lord be praised, both now and forevermore. From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the LORD is to be praised." (Psalm 113:2.3 NIV)




Praise the Lord. At all times and in all places, everyone shall praise the LORD.

Sunrise Aura, MI
I woke up a little late this morning. The sun should rise in about an hour. Many of the people that I know have the same habit as I, wake up early, before the sun rises for devotions and prayer and again around or after the sun sets spending more intentional time in God's presence. 

It does not matter where you are, who you are, or what time it is; He who sits enthroned on high, who stoops down to look upon the heavens and the earth, is always worthy to be praised. Spend time in His presence, not just to go down the list of prayer petititions, but to thank Him for answering our prayers; thank Him for listening; thank Him even for the sunrise and sunset; praise His Holy Name.

God's Peace - Pr. J

P.S. It is about about hour before sunrise on Sunday morning. You still have time to get ready to join your brothers and sisters in Christ at Worship, praising His Holy Name.
