Psalm 149:4-6 The LORD is happy with his people. He did a wonderful thing for his humble people. He saved them! Let his followers rejoice in this victory! Let them sing for joy, even in their beds! Let the people shout praise to God.

There are times when we feel like praising God, and… let’s be honest, there are times when we don’t. And then, there are times when we have every reason to be praising Him, but somehow we just don’t get around to it.

There was a time back in Israel’s history when God had given them a great victory over their enemies. Now back then, the threat of war and the brutal reality of war, was a very real thing – as it still is today, sadly, in many places.

So great victories were cause for great celebration. And the best way to celebrate, it turns out, is to praise the Lord.

Psalm 149:4-6 The LORD is happy with his people. He did a wonderful thing for his humble people. He saved them! Let his followers rejoice in this victory! Let them sing for joy, even in their beds! Let the people shout praise to God.

It’s really over-the-top language, isn’t it? There’s an exuberance there in those couple of verses that you just can’t miss.

So … when was the last time that the Lord gave you a great victory? Perhaps it was an emotional victory, a healing, a financial breakthrough. You’d felt oppressed, afraid, concerned for your future, but He saved you.

Can I ask you, did you celebrate it? Did you sing for joy in your bed? Did you shout His praises? And if not, why not?

When something good happens in your life, let God’s praises fill your heart and flow from your lips. Give Him all the glory for what He’s done, because it’s the right thing to do – because the next time you’re in trouble, it’ll help you to remember His mighty works in your past.

That’s God’s Word. Fresh … for you … today.
