“Let Everything That Has Breathe Praise The Lord.”

Written By: Reverend Levi Howard Wright

PSALM 150:1-6

1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.

2 Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.

3 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.

4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.

5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.

6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.

Introduction

One morning I was awaken by the sound of birds singing. And as I begin to listen to their songs in the spirit of my mind, it sounded as if the birds were singing praises unto the Lord. And in my spiritual mind and imagination I heard the birds giving God praises.

In Psalms 150:6, King David said, “Let everything that have breathe praise the Lord.”

As I listen to the birds sing, it sounded as if the Mockingbird was singing “Thank You Jesus, Thank You Jesus.”

Then the Crow join in the songs of praise and it sounded like it said, “Give Him Praise, Give Him Praise.”

Then the Woodpecker followed suit and said, “Lord, Lord, Lord, He’s So Good.”

Then a Jaybird got happy and started to shout, “Yes He Is, Yes He Is.”

The Robin stuck out its red breast and began to flap its wings and shouted “Jesus Is All Right With Me.”

As the Cardinal looked on it began to sing, “He Sweet I Know.”

The Hawk was moved by such wonderful singing that it got excited and began to sing, “What A Fellowship, Why Don’t You Try Him.”

And a Buzzard that was flying over looked down and began to sing, “He Can Rise The Dead.”

Then the Nightingale said, “Wait One Minute, He Can Give Sight To The Blind.”

And the wise Owl said, “Who, Who, Who.”

And then the Road Runner jump up and began to shout “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.”

The Sparrow began to shout “If You Fall He Will Pick You Up.”

And the wise old Owl said, Who, Who, Who.” And the Road Runner jumped up again and said, “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.”

The Peacock began to flutter it’s wings and dance and began to shout, “I Feel A Fire Shut Up In My Bones.

Then the Dove began to sing “God Is Love, He So Loved The World That He Gave His Only Begotten Son.”

And the Parrot shouted out “Jesus Saves.” And the Raven shouted “To The Upmost.”

Then the Bluebird began to sang, “I Know That Right, Because He’s So Good.”

The Eagle flew over with it wings widely spread as if to be directing all of the songs of praise and said, “Lord Use Me.”

Oh yeah in my spiritual mind and imagination I heard the birds singing songs of praises like an angelic choir, giving God the praise.

I don’t want the birds to out praise me. I don’t want the ants to out work me.

“Let everything that have breathe praise the Lord.”

Peter said in 1 Peter 5:8 “The devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.”

One day I saw an old black tom cat running through the woods. I wonder what it was running from and I soon saw four species of birds on his tail chancing it through the woods.

Bluejays, red cardinals, brown thrashers, and mockingbirds they all took turns dive bombing the old black tom cat. They was working together to chase off the enemy.

We need to work together to chase off the devil.

I don’t want the birds and the ants to out praise and work me.

Amen, Amen.
