6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord (Psalm 150:6).
Life is from God. The idea of God breathing life into creation is central to God’s role as creator. The breath of God is the beginning of life. There are profound moral and ethical principles that hinge on the acknowledgment of God as the creator of life. So when the psalmist states that everything that hath breath will praise the Lord, he is saying that all things that God created will praise Him. We are in essence obligated by our very existence to praise God. We owe all to our Creator, the maker of heaven and earth and the giver of life. Let all life praise God.
