Energetic Praise

What keeps us from expressing our thanks and praise with abandon?

Read Psalm 149.

In this psalm of praise, we can imagine an animated, vigorous celebration, complete with shouting and dancing and singing at the top of your lungs. In other words, about the opposite of what we’re used to in our own worship services. Why is this? What keeps us from expressing our thanks and praise with such abandon? Are we too self-conscious? Are we too proud?

In verse 4, we read God adorns the humble with victory. What would it look like to set down our pride and worship with great enthusiasm and humility?

Sometime today when you’re in the car or in the shower, practice this type of worship. Bonus points if you do it where someone else can hear!
