“Blessed Be The Name Of The Lord”

Worship is contagious. It just takes one person, willing to be vulnerable to God and the people around, to infect a whole group. Throughout Scripture, the people who led worship had to take some risks.
Moses broke out in song after crossing the Red Sea " a bold move for a very reluctant leader who was a stutter. David, overcome with joy, danced before the Lord, not caring whether or not it made him look foolish. Daniel, openly worshipped God even through it meant putting his life on the line. For each of these men, fears of what they might look like or how they might be labeled or what might become of them could not hold them back.
As a result, whole nations were led into God’s presence. Lives were saved, and people were directed back to God. I know for myself, I have considered the effect of my worship upon the people that surround me, as well as, for my family and even me.
My praise can help lift mine and others spirit of heaviness or give hope needed for the future. I might be the difference between their pressing on or giving up.
God is looking for true worshipers who will bless His name. Will you be the one to shout out loud and not hold back? I know for me, "my answer is "Yes, I will, ‘bless the name of the Lord from this time forth and forevermore.’ Psalm 113:2
