DAILY INSPIRATION 19-07-2026
PRAISING GOD CONTINUALLY
THE WORD
1 Chronicles 16:37-43 (KJV) So he left there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required:
And Obed-edom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obed-edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be porters:
And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that was at Gibeon,
To offer burnt offerings unto the LORD upon the altar of the burnt offering continually morning and evening, and to do according to all that is written in the law of the LORD, which he commanded Israel;
And with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were expressed by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because his mercy endureth for ever;
And with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should make a sound, and with musical instruments of God. And the sons of Jeduthun were porters.
And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house."
THE MESSAGE
After putting the ark of God into the tabernacle prepared for it by David, he also raised priests and singers to be ministering in sacrifice and music continually before the LORD.
It was a daily obligation of the priests and the Levites to bring sacrifices and songs of praise to God.
As believers in Christ, we have no business with offering the sacrifice of animals or anything with blood because Christ did that for us on the cross. All religious rituals and sacrifices were settled on the cross, so we don't have to shed any blood or do any ritual apart from the ordinances of water baptism and holy communion given to us by Christ.
Bur as priests of God through Christ, we have the obligation of praising God continually as indicated in the following scriptures: 1 Peter 2:5, 9, "Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:"
Hebrews 13:15, "By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name."
Living a praiseful life is what we are to be doing as believers in Christ. We are to be showing forth God's praise through our lives and be singing His praise and thanksgiving with our mouths.
This is our daily obligation in response to His love and sacrifice for our salvation.
Are you praiseful to God continually in your daily life? Give Him praise always.
PRAYER
God of love, who gave us Your only begotten Son for our salvation. Give us a grateful heart that appreciates Your love and praise You continually in Jesus Mighty Name.
Amen.
