“Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord from the heavens;
praise him in the heights!
Praise him, all his angels;
praise him, all his host!
Praise him, sun and moon;
praise him, all you shining stars!
Praise him, you highest heavens.”
– Psalm 148:1-4a (NRSVue)

In the psalm, all creation is urged to join the heavenly beings in praising God—which in these days after Christmas reminds us of the angelic chorus that broke out in praise for Jesus’ birth. What is your favorite way to praise God—singing or making music, praying or meditating, dancing or enjoying a walk in God’s Creation, or another means of expression?
