Praise Him with understanding

“For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.” - Psalms 47v7

Our lives of course should be lives full of praise to our God. Everyone should know that we are His by lives we live in praise to Him. Praise is part of the Christian walk. Psalm 47 is full of admonitions to praise the Lord.

Verse seven goes just a little farther though. It is a challenge for is to praise the Lord with understanding. Our praise should not just be a mindless repetition of “Praise the Lord,” but our praise should be accompanied with the reason for the praise – who God is and what He has done.

May all of our praise be made with understanding!
