PHILOSOPHICAL REFLECTIONS
CREATED FOR HIS PRAISE!
LEAD SCRIPTURE
“Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.”
— Psalm 150:6 (KJV)
INTRODUCTION:
THE GREATEST PURPOSE OF EXISTENCE
One of the greatest questions that has troubled humanity from generation to generation is this:
"Why am I here?"
Philosophers have wrestled with it.
Scientists have investigated it.
Religions have attempted to explain it.
Kings, prophets, scholars, and ordinary men have all sought answers to it.
Yet the answer is far simpler than many imagine.
The primary purpose of creation is praise.
The ultimate reason for existence is God's pleasure.
The Psalmist settles the matter with divine simplicity:
“Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.”
— Psalm 150:6
Notice the scope of that command.
Not some things.
Not holy things only.
Not angels alone.
Not ministers only.
Not prophets exclusively.
Not churchgoers alone.
Everything that has breath.
If it breathes, it was designed to praise.
If it exists, it was created for His glory.
If it lives, it owes its existence to Him.
The Scriptures begin with God creating all things.
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”
— Genesis 1:1
Creation did not begin with man.
Creation began with God.
Therefore, the purpose of creation can only be understood from the Creator Himself.
Nothing understands the purpose of a product better than its manufacturer.
Likewise, no one understands the purpose of man better than God.
The Prophet Isaiah reveals one of the greatest secrets concerning mankind:
“Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory...”
— Isaiah 43:7
Man was created for God's glory.
Man was created for God's pleasure.
Man was created to reflect God's greatness.
Man was created to celebrate God's majesty.
The tragedy of many lives is not that they fail.
The tragedy is that they succeed at things they were never created to pursue.
A fish may become miserable outside water.
An eagle may become frustrated living like a chicken.
Likewise, a man disconnected from worship will eventually become disconnected from purpose.
The Book of Revelation provides another astonishing insight:
“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.”
— Revelation 4:11
Pause and think about that.
You were not created primarily for money.
You were not created primarily for fame.
You were not created primarily for power.
You were not created primarily for status.
You were created for His pleasure.
Everything else is secondary.
Praise is not merely something believers do.
Praise is why believers exist.
Even creation itself praises God.
“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.”
— Psalm 19:1
The stars praise Him.
The oceans praise Him.
The mountains praise Him.
The trees praise Him.
The birds praise Him.
The winds praise Him.
The sun praises Him by shining.
The moon praises Him by reflecting.
The rivers praise Him by flowing.
Everything fulfills praise by fulfilling divine purpose.
This brings us to one of the most profound truths in Scripture:
Man was created to occupy a position that rebellion once vacated.
The Bible reveals the fall of Lucifer.
“How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!”
— Isaiah 14:12
Lucifer was originally associated with heavenly splendor.
Yet pride corrupted him.
His ambition displaced him.
His rebellion destroyed him.
“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.”
— Proverbs 16:18
When Lucifer abandoned his position through rebellion, God did not abandon His purpose.
God created mankind.
A race of beings capable of worship.
A race of beings capable of praise.
A race of beings capable of glorifying His Name.
This is why the enemy constantly fights worship.
Because worship reminds him of what he lost.
Praise reminds him of what he forfeited.
Every time a believer genuinely exalts God, Heaven's original purpose is being fulfilled.
This is why Jesus declared:
“God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”
— John 4:24
The highest calling of man is not occupation.
The highest calling of man is adoration.
The greatest assignment of man is not accumulation.
The greatest assignment of man is glorification of God.
When a man discovers this truth, life begins to make sense.
Purpose becomes clearer.
Priorities become simpler.
Decisions become wiser.
Destiny becomes easier to navigate.
For life was never intended to revolve around self.
Life was designed to revolve around God.
“For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.”
— Romans 11:36
WISDOM NOTES
The greatest tragedy in life is not death; it is living without discovering why you were created.
“Where there is no vision, the people perish.”
— Proverbs 29:18
A man who lives for himself will eventually disappoint himself.
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God...”
— Matthew 6:33
Purpose is not created by man; purpose is discovered from God.
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD.”
— Psalm 37:23
Anything that takes God's place in your life has become an idol.
“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”
— Exodus 20:3
Praise is not a church activity; praise is a lifestyle.
“I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.”
— Psalm 34:1
The closer a man gets to God, the more naturally praise flows from his life.
“Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.”
— James 4:8
Worship is the highest expression of love.
“Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart...”
— Matthew 22:37
Every breath is a divine gift.
Every heartbeat is a divine reminder.
Every new day is another opportunity to glorify God.
“Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD.”
— Psalm 150:6
FINAL THOUGHTS
At the end of life, God will not primarily ask how much money we made.
He will not primarily ask how many titles we acquired.
He will not primarily ask how many people applauded us.
The greatest question will be:
Did we fulfill the purpose for which we were created?
Did we glorify Him?
Did we bring Him pleasure?
Did we live for His praise?
The stars fulfill their purpose.
The oceans fulfill their purpose.
The mountains fulfill their purpose.
The angels fulfill their purpose.
The question remains:
Are we fulfilling ours?
The greatest revelation a human being can receive is this:
I belong to God.
I exist because of God.
I live for God.
I was created for His praise.
And when a man truly understands that truth, life ceases to be a burden and becomes a worship service.
“For in him we live, and move, and have our being.”
— Acts 17:28
PRAYER LINES
Father, help me never to forget the purpose for which You created me.
“Teach me thy way, O LORD...”
— Psalm 86:11
Lord, let my life bring You glory in every season.
“Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.”
— 1 Corinthians 10:31
Remove every distraction that competes with Your place in my heart.
“Create in me a clean heart, O God.”
— Psalm 51:10
Let every breath I take become an instrument of praise.
“Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD.”
— Psalm 150:6
May my life continually bring pleasure to You.
“For thy pleasure they are and were created.”
— Revelation 4:11
In Jesus' Name.
Amen.
