Readings: Psalm 150
It would be good to read both of these passages as a group before you start.
- Discuss what you think it means to “praise God.”
- One of The Macquarie Dictionary’s definitions says: Praise “is to offer grateful homage to God”. The word “homage” comes from olden times when a vassal (slave) swore allegiance to their lord. Does this change your understanding of what it means to praise God? In what way?
- Hugh has reminded us of some things we should praise God for. What are you particularly conscious of today? The recent months have been difficult for many – is there anything in particular that you have learnt as a result of the virus that you can praise God for?
- Verses 1 and 2 remind us of some of the things we should praise God for. Take time to reflect on and discuss each of these.
