Sometimes, dear Christ followers, it is so difficult to remember that we are here for one purpose. To bring glory to GOD. In all instances, we are to praise the LORD.
As Job did, and as David did and as Noah did, we need to praise the LORD.
We have nothing, we are nothing, but most of all, we would never have been on earth had it not been for the LORD our GOD. HE created the earth, the heavens and all things. And then HE created us in HIS own image.
Our only purpose is to give praise to HIM.
Here in this Psalm we are reminded of this. No matter the circumstances in which we find ourselves, we are to praise the LORD.
Remember Paul and Silas in prison in Philippi singing hymns and praying to GOD. They had been stripped and beaten, put into the deepest part of the prison, with their feet in the stocks. Yet at midnight, in the cold, the dark and bruised and beaten, they were singing and praying to GOD.
If we truly love the LORD and we want to be in a relationship with our CREATOR, we need to praise HIM. Praise HIM for our lives, our family, our friends, our homes and all that we have and all that we are.
There is a quotation by Max Lucado that says "imagine if you woke up tomorrow with only the things that you thanked GOD for today".
So today, let us praise the LORD no matter what our circumstances might be.
Prayer: ABBA FATHER, I humbly praise YOU and thank YOU for all that I am, for all that I have and for everything YOU have done for me and for YOUR mercy and grace. I thank YOU for my salvation given to me by YOUR grace through Jesus Christ. I humbly thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay amazingly Jesus blessed today!
