Rewarding Effort

Let everything praise the Name of the LORD. For His Name is excellent; His glory is above the earth and heaven. He exalts the strength of His people, of all His saints-even the children of Israel, near unto Him. (Psalm 148:13,14)


There is great reward to those who take the time to praise the LORD. His Name, and His alone is excellent. His glory is even above the heaven. I have always thought that heaven was the highest of the high; but His name is even above heaven! There is no limit.


A benefit to fearing Him is that He exalts the strength of His people-the praise of all His saints. Not some of His saints, but of all His saints. The LORD takes pleasure in those that fear Him; in those that hope in His mercy. (Psalm 147:11)


If we want our strength increased, If we want to give the LORD pleasure, PRAISE HIM!
