"Extol the Lord our God,
and worship at this holy mountain;
for the Lord our God is holy."
Psalm 99:9
The word extol in not one that most of us use on a regular basis. In fact I had to look it up so that I new what it was that I was supposed to be doing. the definition of extol is: to praise highly. It is a verb from around the 15th Century taken from the Latin word meaning: to lift up.
So the command or invitation is to go over the top with our praise for God. But can you really do that? Is it possible to say to much about God? When giving praise to a person there is always a line where everyone (except maybe the person receiving the praise) knows that you have crossed the line and what you are saying really isn't true.
So today I am going to try to give more praise to God than he is worthy of receiving. I'm guessing that I will run out of day before I run out of praise.
