“I agree with Matthew Henry when he says:
‘They that pray in the family do well.
They that pray and read the Scriptures do better.
But they that pray, and read, and sing do best of all.’
There is a completeness in that kind of family worship which is much to be desired.
Whether in the family or not, yet personally and privately, let us endeavour to be filled with God’s praise and with His honour all the day.
Be this our resolve— ‘I will extol Thee, my God, O King. And I will bless Thy name forever and ever. Every day will I bless Thee. And I will praise Thy name forever and ever‘ (Psalm 145:1-2).”
–Charles H. Spurgeon, “The Happy Duty of Daily Praise,” in The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit Sermons, Volume 32 (London: Passmore & Alabaster, 1886), 32: 289.
