Praising Alone and With Others

David didn’t require being with a group but praised God even while alone. He probably did more praising alone than he did in religious gatherings.  “By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me – a prayer to the God of my life” (Ps. 42:8).  Yet, he was just as ready to praise God along with others; “I will declare your name to my brothers; in the congregation I will praise you” (Ps. 22:22). David, obviously, was not one of those persons who went around saying, “God knows what’s in my heart”. What was in his heart found outward expression both alone and with others.


Participants In Worshiping God

worshiping
As the people of God assemble today, may they draw on the strength that is in one another. May they not worship God as a bunch of individuals but as the body of believers and may they leave the meeting edified and strengthened by having been participants in loving on their God together.

“I will tell of Your name to my brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will praise You.” (Ps.22:22, NASB)
