But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 1 Peter 2:9 (KJV)
God chose us! And as we decided to take His hand, He led us out of darkness into the light! Praise Him!
God delights in our praise. Because of our deliverance....Salvation....through His Son, Jesus Christ, it is fitting that we praise Him. (ref. Psalm 33 NLT)
Do you know that our praise is a choice. It is the commitment God wants from us. We can praise God with our lives....we praise Him with our words. As we focus...concentrate our attention and energy on God, we minimize ourselves and magnify Him! As we praise to God in our hearts and minds, the Holy Spirit carries it to His throne, making the offering on our behalf!
So let us praise God! Give Him the honor that is due to Him. We must let God know today and everyday how much we appreciate Him and His love!
I will praise You, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things You have done. Psalm 9:1 (NLT)
I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak His praises. I will boast only in the Lord; let all who are helpless take heart. Come, let us tell of the Lord's greatness; let us exalt His name together. Psalm 34:1-3 (NLT)
Praise the Lord! Let all that I am praise the Lord. I will praise the Lord as long as I live. I will sing praises to my God with my dying breath.
Psalm 146:1-2 (NLT)
Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Psalm 150:6 (NLT)
Let's make the choice....make the commitment....in all things....in every situation....Let's praise the Lord!
Heavenly Father! We offer you our praise. Just because of Who You are! Our Everything! Praises, Honor and Glory belong to You! In Jesus' Name. AMEN!
