Memorizing Scripture is one of the best ways to carry God-breathed truth, instruction, and reproof wherever we go. This week, we’re memorizing the key verse for this reading plan:
Hallelujah!
Praise the Lord from the heavens;
praise Him in the heights.
—Psalm 148:1
Write this verse down and post it on your mirror or at your desk, in your car or on the fridge—anywhere you’ll see it often. Save the image below as your phone’s lock screen so you can read these words of truth throughout the day.
We want to be a community that is intentional about Scripture memorization. Will you join us?

Happy Sunday she’s! Praying for all of you!
I just read yesterday’s challenge and all the backstories and lyrics to your favorite hymns, and added one of my own. It was like a revival in my living room!
My family on my dad’s side had a reunion yesterday. My aunt (dad’s sister) is the only one of ten siblings left. It was such a blessing to see lots of cousins and their children and grandchildren. Thank you for family, God. It is a gift from you.
Good Morning/afternoon now!! We are at church for such a long time! We had lots of excitement today with groups starting, and baptisms (hallelujah!) and all! But thank you @Kelly Neo for posting that Psalm- those words really had such meaning after experiencing that in community worship this morning!
@AZ Walker- Thank you for reminding me of Blessed Assurance!! Also a favorite of our church and it was my moms favorite so we sang it at her funeral.
Right now the song Holy Forever by Chris Tomlin is on. (There is also a great version by Jen Johnson which I favor!) But I love it! I love all music basically that worships our Lord! We sang two songs today at church from Elevation Worship that we sing at prison ministries that are good ones- “More Than Able” and “Praise!”
Hope each of you have a blessed Sunday!
I love so many of the favorites posted so far. I also love Blessed Assurance written in 1873 by Frances J. Crosby. When it’s sung in a traditional service (I don’t attend those too often), but I sing it all day long!
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
Refrain:
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long.
Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels, descending, bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
Perfect submission, all is at rest,
I in my Savior am happy and blest,
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.
Praying for your requests.
v3 “Praise him sun and moon; Praise him, all shining stars” Two nights ago, I was driving on a busy road, when I noticed the sun was huge, bright orange, just huge. So BEAUTIFUL! Carefully, I pulled out my phone outside my window and took a picture. and I said, “thank you Jesus.” The driver next to me looked over and just smiled. There’s just something about the sun and the moon and the stars that are just breathtaking. Both my kids love taking pictures outside of the sun, the moon, the sky. God is so good to have given us, something beautiful for his children to look at. Happy Sunday sweet She’s. I’m out on my front porch enjoying the cool brisk morning and the sun is up. And I can smell the aroma of my cinnamon rolls baking for my family. I don’t make them too often as they’re time consuming, but prepping the night before makes it faster in the morning.
My voice isn’t completely back, but definitely much better. and I watched our service online, last night. The time couldn’t have been better. We’re going through the Lord’s, prayer piece by piece. Last night it was on Provision. And I had just asked my two good friends to pray as I have two major expenses and I’m waiting for some monies to come in to help me pay for them. And I was overjoyed to hear the service last night. I know it’s Jesus letting me know he’s got me.
Psalm 148:5-6 Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he commanded, and they were created.
6 He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.
This passage reminds me of a hymn I always enjoy singing:
Praise him, praise him, Jesus our blessed redeemer!
Sing, O earth, his wonderful love proclaim!
Hail him, hail him! Highest archangels in glory!
Strength and honor give to his holy name!
Like a shepherd, Jesus will guard his children.
In his arms he carries them all day long.
Refrain:
Praise him! Praise him! tell of his excellent greatness.
Praise him! Praise him! ever in joyful song.
2 Praise him, praise him! Jesus, our blessed redeemer!
For our sins, he suffered, and bled, and died.
He our rock, our hope of eternal salvation,
hail him, hail him! Jesus, the crucified.
Sound his praises, Jesus who bore our sorrows,
love unbounded, wonderful, deep, and strong.
[Refrain]
3 Praise him, praise him! Jesus, our blessed redeemer!
Heav’nly portals loud with hosannas ring!
Jesus, Savior, reigneth forever and ever!
Crown him, crown him! prophet, and priest, and king!
Christ is coming, over the world victorious.
Pow’r and glory unto the Lord belong.
[Refrain]

Loved the challenge KELLY (NEO) – thank you.
Good morning! Thanks for joining in yesterday’s challenge. Y’all made me smile.
As you gather to worship with God’s people today join in with the words of Psalm 149:1-6a
“Hallelujah!
Sing to the Lord a new song,
his praise in the assembly of the faithful.
Let Israel celebrate its Maker;
let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.
Let them praise his name with dancing
and make music to him with tambourine and lyre.
For the Lord takes pleasure in his people;
he adorns the humble with salvation.
Let the faithful celebrate in triumphal glory;
let them shout for joy on their beds.
Let the exaltation of God be in their mouths.”
It’s like when you get married “ For better or Worse “
Lord, I will praise You in the good times and in the bad. I will lift up Your name and seek Your face regardless of the season I am in. Lord, thank you for Your steadfast love. For filling us with a peace that transcends understanding. Only You can save us. I trust in You.
Praise the Lord in the hard times and the easy times. Help me Lord to praise you always.
I need to get better at verse memorization!
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord from the heavens. Praise him in the heights. Psalm 148:1
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord from the Heavens! Praise Him in the heights!
My little newborn baby had heart surgery 2 weeks ago. The lord was with us during this time, he carried us and gave us strength! We had so many prayer warriors. Our little guy was in the nicu about 9 days after his surgery and 12 before and that was it, then we took him home! Putting everything in the Lords hands was the best thing we could do. He deserves all the praise for letting us have our now healthy boy. Hallelujah, Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise him in the heights”
The Lord works in ways we do not understand but if we let him take the lead and allow him to guide us he will take us exactly where we need to go!
Your story is so inspiring!!! In the hardest time in your life you stayed true to the Lord…and let me tell you that is the best thing you could ever do for you and your family. That baby is in God’s hands he knew from the minute they were born what he was going to do with that baby and through your baby you were able to lean on God probably more than ever before!!
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord from the Heavens! Praise Him in the heights!
I was almost completely bedridden with chronic illness for two years, and He taught me to have joy, patience in suffering, and trust in Him to make up for what I couldn’t do in my household. He even used it to repair a hurting relationship with my mother. And now, he is bringing me out of that flareup and into a season of better health, where I can begin to serve my family again. He is so good, all the time, in sickness and in health.
No matter where we are, we can praise the Lord!
The Lord is too wonderful to even begin to say, I cannot describe half of what He is. He keeps making Himself real to me over, and over again❤ Thank you Lord. “Hallelujah, praise the Lord from the heavens; worship Him from the heights.” Psalms 148:1
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord from the Heavens; Praise him in the heights! Psalms 141:1
I work with a girl with chronic illness and everyday she makes it through a day even if it is filled with pain we are able to Praise God no matter the circumstances. It was hard at first to see such suffering up close but their family has taught me God is good, always.
God is so worthy of praise. I was $400 short on my rent this month because an internship fell through with my monthly stipend. I had no clue what to do but I was like God I trust you no matter what. I told a friend what was going on and they offered to give me the remainder of my rent money. I told them I’d pay them back when I could and they said not to even worry about it. Nothing but God! I can’t stop praising Him for how good He is. The way He rescued me in my time of need is just amazing! I’m so thankful to serve such a loving and caring God
I will climb this mountain of life with my hands wide open: shouting Praise to Him from the rooftops!!! Praise be to the One who gave His Only Son for my dirty sins… Praise be to the One who extends His grace to me daily!!! I love you Oh Lord!! May your praises never leave my lips!!
Praise God for all you do for me and my family I seek you o Lord thank you for waking me up this morning thank you for giving me a sound mind thank you for all the small things and big things that you have blessed me with thank you for working in my life thank you for your word every single day I appreciate my time with you father God I praise you through trials and tribulation I praise you through the good and the bad in Jesus name amen. This was an awesome word and the scriptures was for me and I will love to memorize this scripture.
I love this!!!
We have purpose. May I remember in everything I am made for praise of the most high.
Wonderful to know that all across this globe we call Earth there are believers raising their voices in praise. The fellowship of believers knows no boundaries, no barriers when we lift our hallelujahs to Him. Glory to God from whom all blessings flow!
Amen!<3
