Never-Ending Praise

                                             When The Door Slams

Praise the LORD! Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is Good! For His mercy endures. Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? Who can declare all His Praise? Blessed are those who keep justice, And he who does righteousness at all times!           (Psalm 106:1-3 NKJV)

            When the Bible directs us to give thanks to the Lord, it reminds us of the importance of extolling His goodness to us. As sinners saved by grace, we have much to praise Him for! The benefits of living a praise-filled life are too numerous to mention, but know this: changing your focus from "me to Thee" will radically change your perspective in life.

            Psalm 106:2 says, "Who can declare all His praise?" Think about it-who, indeed, can declare all His praise? Our praises should be never-ending! Don't limit your worship of the Lord to an hour on Sunday. Keep a song in your heart throughout your day. Begin first thing each morning. 

            This remind me of a story of a Minister resolved to bless the Lord at all times. Starting with his morning devotions, he rose each morning as he was convicted by his work ethic and determined to be as diligent with his spiritual growth and survival. He depend on knowing the greatness of the Lord's power, is the greatness of His love for us each and everyday.

            When we start our day praising the Lord, it keeps a song in our hearts throughout our waking hours. As we offer our praise and worship to the Lord, He dries our tears and banishes our fears. Remember that the Lord is good--be thankful to Him and bless His Holy name (Psalm 100). 

             Think about this: God honors those who honor Him and put their trust in Him. Honoring ourselves is a thankless task, and hoping to be honored by others is prideful. When we acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and seek to worship and glorify Him in all we say and do, He has a way of blessing us, using us, providing for us, and establishing our reputation before others. 

            Confession: Lord Jesus, I have nowhere else to go; You have the words of eternal life. I believe and know that You are the Holy One of God (John 6:68-69).  

 Ask the Holy Spirit to search your heart and reveal any areas of unconfessed sin. Acknowledge these to the LORD and thank Him for His forgiveness.
