Praise befits the upright

Praise befits the upright.  Psalm 33:1

A spirit of praise toward God is not just obligatory.  It is fitting.  It is beautiful.  That’s what the verse is saying.

A frowning church is really missing something.  But a praising church is beautiful.  Think of a man wearing a great suit, with the perfect shirt for that suit, but then he puts on a killer tie that makes the whole thing pop.  That’s what praise to God does for a church.  Whatever the “style” of the church may be, a spirit of praise puts a convincing and satisfying beauty upon it.

Praises to God so befit us who are not upright in ourselves but fully upright forever in Christ!
