What to Praise God?

Psalms 150:2-6 

2 Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness.

3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre,

4 praise him with tambourine and dancing, praise him with the strings and flute,

5 praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals.

6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD.  

God’s message to Asa by Azariah the prophet:

2 Chronicles 15:1-7 

1 The Spirit of God came upon Azariah son of Oded. 

2 He went out to meet Asa and said to him, “Listen to me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin. The LORD is with you when you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you. 

3 For a long time Israel was without the true God, without a priest to teach and without the law. 

4 But in their distress they turned to the LORD, the God of Israel, and sought him, and he was found by them. 

5 In those days it was not safe to travel about, for all the inhabitants of the lands were in great turmoil. 

6 One nation was being crushed by another and one city by another, because God was troubling them with every kind of distress. 

7 But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.”

To masters:

Ephesians 6:5 

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.

1 Peter 2:18-20 

18 Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. 

19 For it is commendable if a man bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God. 

20 But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God.
