And that greatest of the psalms, Psalm one hundred and nineteen and verse seven, shows us the best way of all to praise God. Here it is:<br \/>\n<b>Psa 119:7 I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>This is not just great literature. Every verse of this psalm carries the most profound spiritual truth. Every verse pulls us up and makes us look deeper and deeper. We need to read it again:<br \/>\n<b>\u2018I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments\u2019.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>OK, we know praising God is good, but praising God with an upright heart is the way to do it. We know that even when we are in the depths of despair we must keep praising the Lord.<\/p>\n<h2>Praising the Lord pleases the Lord<\/h2>\n<p>Psalm sixty-nine says, at verse thirty:<br \/>\n<b>Psa 69:30 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. 31 This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Praising the Lord pleases the Lord. But it must be done with an upright heart. And how do we do that? By learning his righteous judgments. Where are they? All through the Bible, but particularly, in context, the Psalmist will be thinking of the law-word of God, his teaching, the Hebrew word is the Torah, in the first five books of the Bible, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.<\/p>\n<p>And note how the psalmist says these judgments of the Lord God are righteous. Our legislators and the media today are exactly like those people the Apostle Paul spoke of in Romans chapter one and verse eighteen, who hold the truth in unrighteousness.<\/p>\n<h2>Our rulers are fallen<\/h2>\n<p>Their hearts are no longer upright but fallen. And sadly, so many people follow them in saying and doing the opposite of what God says in his word. Killing a child in his mother\u2019s womb? God\u2019s word says murder is a sin and crime. Our society calls it abortion, and it\u2019s OK. God\u2019s word says sodomy is a sin and crime. Our society calls it diversity, and brings in gay marriage. God\u2019s word speaks of peace, but our rulers love war. I could go on.<\/p>\n<p>And the danger is that Christians can be sucked into the ways of the world and we too can begin to hold the truth in unrighteousness. We can start to disrespect God\u2019s righteous judgments. And then, God\u2019s word says, our uprightness of heart disappears, and our praise is of no value. So this, my friend, is serious.<\/p>\n<p>The great Puritan Thomas Manton wrote of this verse: \u2018There is no way to please God entirely and sincerely until we have learned both to know and do his will. Practical praise is the praise God looks after.\u2019<\/p>\n<h2>Praise as you learn<\/h2>\n<p>But Charles Spurgeon points out that the second half of this verse should properly be not, \u2018when I have learned,\u2019 but, \u2018in my learning\u2019 of God\u2019s righteous judgments. So God will open his heart to you as you are reading your Bible and learning prayerfully, not wait until you know everything of his law before blessing you.<\/p>\n<p>And which of us will ever say he has reached the end of knowing the mind of God, which is where his law-word takes us? Spurgeon also says there is \u2018no music like that which comes from a pure soul which standeth in its integrity\u2019. And to the sinner, he says the Lord: \u2018would teach him the art of living so that he should clean escape from his former misery.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Thomas Manton goes on: \u2018The best of God&#8217;s servants are but scholars and students in the knowledge and obedience of his word.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>So the message to you is to read your Bible, keep learning and understanding his laws, view them as righteous, make up your mind to honour them and keep them and praise God with an upright heart.<\/p>\n<p>SCRIPT ENDS<\/p>\n<h2>Bible Reading Plan<\/h2>\n<p>In the link below you&#8217;ll find a Bible reading plan to help you read through the Bible in one year in a smart and structured way.
