Psalms 146:1,2 Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord, O My soul. I will praise the Lord as long as I live, I will sing praises to my God while I have being…

I love these two verses. Four times the word Praise is used. The first time is a genuine expression of simple worship of God
The second time, he is calling on all the parts of his body, both seen and unseen to unite together to Praise the Lord. He is calling on his brain and his thoughts; he is calling on his flesh and body; he is calling on his heart and his emotions; he is calling on his will and his ambitions; he is calling on strengths, gifts and talents to unite together as one to Praise the Lord. He does NOT want to be half hearted or only partially involved. He wants it to be in whole-hearted praise.
Next, he also does not want to be ‘on and off’ again in his praise. He wants his praise to be continuous, ‘as long as I live’.
Lastly, I get the impression that until his dying breath, he will praise the Lord. “I will sing praises to my God WHILE I HAVE BEING….” Not only will he be praising the Lord, but he will do it with song. “I will SING PRAISES…”
Throughout the day, at various times, temptations will come along with various accusations from the evil one. If I don’t control either the temptations or the accusations, I will inevitably fall into sin. One way to overcome these attacks is through PRAISE. Psa. 22:3 says, “…The Lord inhabits the praises of His people…” When I intentionally start singing a praise song to God, my whole being can quickly come under submission to a Spirit-led song of praise. Satan hates this and will flee. God will envelop our minds and thoughts and we can quickly get re-calibrated back to spiritual things. It ‘gets our heads back into the game’; it snaps us out of the Satanic stupor that leads to sin and broken relationship with God.
If you haven’t memorized a verse in a while, this would be a good one to work on. Say it out loud 5-8 times. Within 3 minutes you will have it memorized.
