MY FRIENDS, “HIS PRAISE SHOULD CONTINUALLY BE IN OUR MOUTH”
My friends “[if yor God has chosen you and your passion is to serve we must] bless the Lord at all times; His praise [should] continually be in [our] mouth. [and our] soul will make its boast in the Lord; The humble will hear it and rejoice. [My friends] O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together. ”Ps. 34:1-3 (NASB)
My friends let’s focus today on the words “His praise should continually be in our mouth” the text never mentioned anything about missing a day or even a second of our life, but continually. Webster tells us; continually is “without cessation or intermission; unceasingly; and always.”
Two years ago I ran a half marathon here in Nashville. Two miles into the race both of my Achilles became inflamed, in fact, they felt as though 
they were on fire, but I had eleven miles to go, the simplest thing would have been to stop, it was a drenching storm that never stopped and the distance back was a whole lot shorter then what was in front of me.
But my friends I never entertained the notion too stop, or go back, the goal was the finish line so I endured through the pain and the storm, at a much slower pace but I continue and upon crossing I received the prize, which was victory. Not first place but my goal, to finish.
My friends we must look ahead at where we are trying to go. If the finish line is not important then we can sit down and spend a few hours in front of our televisions each evening, or however you waste God’s precious time, But if your eyes are focus on the promise land then “God’s praise should continually be in [our mouth]”
And with passion His children must let the world know that “we’ve been changed and we have waited for this moment to come for such a long time and we won’t let it pass us by and we won’t go back, can’t go back, to the way it used to be Before God’s presence came and changed us” (William Mcdowell I Won’t Go Back)
That my friends is why we must continually praise God’s name because of what He did on Calvary and what He continues to do in our life each day. In addition He has ask each of us to become His disciples and carry our cross and become “fisherman of men and women”
“The Lord God has given [His faithful] the tongue of discipleship, that we may know how to sustain the weary one with a word. He awakens [His 
chosen] morning by morning, He awakens [our] ear to listen as a disciple.
The Lord God has opened [our] ear; and [we must] not [be] disobedient Nor [must we ever] turn back” Is. 50:54-5 (NASB) for “His praise must be continually in [our mouth]” and one day soon “when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne.
All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; and He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left. “Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me. The righteous then will ask, ‘Lord, when did we [do these things]
The King answers ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.”
So friends stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
