TEXT: Psalm 148:1-14
148:1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights. 148:2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts. 148:3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light. 148:4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.
148:5 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created. 148:6 He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass. 148:7 Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps: 148:8 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapours; stormy wind fulfilling his word: 148:9 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
148:10 Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl: 148:11 Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth: 148:12 Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children: 148:13 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven. 148:14 He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD.

INTRODUCTION TEXT
Today we commemorate the anniversary of the Church Missionary Society (CMS). We should be able to praise God for this Society considering how God used her to reach the unreached through her missionary work in Africa, particularly Nigeria. So, it is a good thing to praise the Lord for the great things He accomplished for the global Church through the missionary endeavours of the CMS. In verses 1-4 of our text, the heavens and the angels are called upon to praise the Lord. Even the sun, moon and stars of light are included in this summons. In verses 7-12, the sea creatures, deep, fire and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind, mountains and hills, old men, children and all other created things are called to praise the Lord.
Brethren, this is an open invitation to everybody to praise the Lord, because He is worthy of our praise. Our attitude at all times should be that of praising the Lord for who He is and many wonders of His hands. This is our own time here on this side of eternity and we need to use it judiciously in praising God at all times. Praising God should not only be in the Church on Sunday; God is good to us at all times not only on Sunday. The created things in the heavens and on the earth should praise God every time. You are God's own image - praise Him always!
Food for Thought: / will bless the Lord at all times.
