Psalms 150:1

Psalms 150:1

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

The psalm opens with praise in two great locations: the earthly sanctuary where God's people worship, and the heavenly firmament — the whole sky — showing that praise fills both earth and heaven.

Memory phrase: Praise God everywhere!

Talk about it: Where are some places you can praise God? Does it have to be in church?

Prayer: Lord, I want to praise You everywhere I go — at home, at church, outside under the sky!
