Reading:
Psalm 135

Why should I praise the Lord?

That’s a question I don’t ask.

But that doesn’t mean I don’t live it way, way to often. (That’s another way of saying that I don’t praise the Lord much.)

When my church isn’t what it should be and my family isn’t what it should be and I’m not what I should be, for what should I praise the Lord?

When I’m far behind in my work and we have water in our basement and both of our vehicles need fixing, for what should I praise the Lord?

When I’m discouraged and suspicious and hurt and confused and lonely and rejected, for what should I praise the Lord?

When my vision has dried up and my goals have moved beyond my reach and my . . . .

OK. That’s enough of that. You get the idea by now.

Why should I praise the Lord?

“Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant” (3).

That makes sense!

(Doesn’t it?)

[Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he (Psalm 135:6)]

from Psalm 135:6

A little bit more from Psalm 135: What Servants Do

Surely you could add something...
