Got Your Praise On?

7/11/2016

​All the time is the perfect time to praise our Lord God Almighty.
​I’m a list maker, I make a “to do list” for home, for work, I make a grocery list, a list of things I want to clean in my house, and I even make a list of the order and way I plan to clean them.  I have a list of the 5 top things I want to do before I die (I’m down to 3), and now I am thinking of making another list, a list of praises to God.  I could put it right next to my shopping list, right there by the milk and bread.  During the day, as I’m running my errands, checking off my lists, I could think about my praises to God.  I could say them, I could sing them, I could pray them, I could meditate on them, and I could do all this while I’m waiting in line for something, waiting on hold over the phone, in the elevator, when I’m in the car driving.  I could praise God while I’m doing the laundry, vacuuming the carpet, or cleaning the garage.

​When I wake up in the morning, before checking my email, or turn on the television to catch the news and weather, I could say my praises to God.

​Though you probably want to find your own praises, the ones that mean the most to you personally, here are a few you could use: 
 “I praise you because you are a loving God, whose very nature is love…”  This praise is in reference to 1 John 4:16 which says "And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.  God is love.  Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them."

“Lord, I praise you, who is just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus…”  This praise is in reference to Romans 3:26 which says "he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus."

“I praise you, Lord, for you are my mighty rock, my refuge…”  This praise is in reference to Psalm 62:7 which says "My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge."
​Since God is the God of everything, let’s praise him, at all different times, everyplace, and in the midst of everything.
