Praise The Lord


Psalm 150:
Praise the Lord.
Praise God in his sanctuary
praise him in his mighty heavens.
Praise him for his acts of power;
    praise him for his surpassing greatness.
Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
    praise him with the harp and lyre,
praise him with timbrel and dancing,
    praise him with the strings and pipe,
praise him with the clash of cymbals,
    praise him with resounding cymbals.

Let everything that has breath praise the lord.
PRAISE THE LORD.

GOD'S WAY



GOD'S WAY
Often times God demonstrates His faithfulness in adversity by providing for us what we need to survive. He does not change our painful circumstances. He sustains us through them.
God is looking for imperfect men and women who have learned to walk in moment-by-moment dependence on the Holy Spirit. Christians who have come to terms with their inadequacies, fears, and failures. Believers who have become discontent with 'surviving' and have taken the time to investigate everything God has to offer in this life.


Why is Praising God Important?




"Why is Praising God important?" When we consider the reasons why we should praise God, we find a list of His attributes. He is full of glory (Psalm 138:5), great (Psalm 145:3), wise and powerful (Daniel 2:20), good (Psalm 107:8), merciful and faithful (Psalm 89:1), and much more. This list of attributes is complemented by a list of His wonderful works. He is the One who saves us, keeps His promises, pardons sin (Psalm 103:1-3). To try to list all the things 

God has done is impossible,
 BUT IT IS A WONDERFUL EXERCISE BECAUSE IT TURNS OUR HEARTS BACK TO HIM AND KEEPS US MINDFUL OF HOW MUCH WE OWE TO HIM. 

Psalm 148:1-10
 tells us that all of creation is commanded to give praise to God. Though there are many people who choose not to praise God right now, there is coming a day in which every knee will bow and every tongue will confess the praises of God (Philippians 2:10-11). Some will joyfully give those praises because of the salvation they have received, while some will give those praises as conquered enemies headed for eternal punishment for their rejection of God.


PRAISE IS A VITAL PART OF A LIFE SURRENDERED TO GOD, AND IT GIVES CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE. GIVING GOD OUR FULL ATTENTION THROUGH OUR BODY, WORK, AND FAMILY IS THE FULL FORM OF PRAISING GOD. WHICH MEANS WE INDIVIDUALLY HAVE TO PRAISE GOD IN EVERYTHING WE DO. 

REVERENCE AND ADORATION



Father God 
I am who I am because of you
your creation of me
is all with LOVE
my adoration for you is
 beyond my human words
I exalt your holy name
my knees tremble in your presence because of my iniquities 
but it is in your presence I feel safe
all honor and glory to you alone
in your majestic name 
I pray AMEN!!
