Psalm 150 The Conclusion of the Matter


Psalm 150:6
Let everything that has breath,
Praise The LORD.

So what do you think it is…….
The conclusion of the matter, that is……
What is it this life might be all about anyway?

Some possibilities…….

Making a name for yourself…
Accumulating nice things…
Maximizing pleasure…
Making a difference…
Becoming powerful…
Following the rules…
Being comfortable…
Solving problems…
Meaningful work…
Rich experiences…
Building a legacy…
Proving myself…
Helping others…
Relationships…
Looking good…
Being good…
Doing good…
Self-control…
Having fun…
Adventure…
Winning…
Church…
Family…

Maybe it’s all about……
Nothing…..
It’s all random.

Maybe it’s all about…..
Everything…..
It’s all random.

But wait,

I wonder if there might be something…..
Some one, special, real, thing……
My life could be about….
Could center on……

Some one, special, real thing
That would…..
Make the difference for me……
That would……
Give substance to all these other…..
Lesser things?

Maybe it’s simple.……
As simple as the Psalmist expresses in this closing chapter.

Psalm 150:6
Let everything that has breath,
Praise The LORD.

Amen.
