This Rings True 

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. 
Psalm 150:6 

Recommended Reading Psalm 150

Last year, a Georgia man bought a $5,000 engagement ring and hid it in a kitchen drawer while waiting to propose to his girlfriend. When his parents came for Christmas, his mother went to work discarding and throwing away debris from the kitchen. When the man looked for his ring, it was gone—and hasn’t been found since. Apparently his mother inadvertently tossed it out.

Meanwhile in a separate case, workers at a garbage dump in Long Island found a $5,000 wedding ring belonging to a New York woman who had accidentally tossed it in the trash while cooking. It was returned, and the grateful woman rewarded the sanitation workers with pizza and brownies.

Dr. A. W. Tozer called worship “the missing jewel of the evangelical church.” Since the Church is simply made up of individual believers, many Christians have lost the ring of worship from their lives. If we don’t praise God as we pray, we’ve lost the whole point of prayer. Praise lifts our prayers from our gripes to His glory. So here’s a verse that rings true for every one of us: “Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD!” (Psalm 150:6)

I would rather worship God than do any other thing I know of in all this wide world.
A. W. Tozer
