Good afternoon everybody!
I hope you are all doing very well as 2015 progresses. I have come to understand the vital importance of Praising God for the things that He does and just Who He is in our lives. Therefore in these few posts we are going to speak of what it means to Praise Him. Sounds so easy isn't it? You'd be so surprised how much we take this for granted...
Check this out...
Deuteronomy 8:11-18 in The Message Bible Translation;
'Make sure you don’t forget God, your God, by not keeping his commandments, his rules and regulations that I command you today. Make sure that when you eat and are satisfied, build pleasant houses and settle in, see your herds and flocks flourish and more and more money come in, watch your standard of living going up and up—make sure you don’t become so full of yourself and your things that you forget God, your God,
- the God who delivered you from Egyptian slavery;
the God who led you through that huge and fearsome wilderness,
those desolate, arid badlands crawling with fiery snakes and scorpions;
the God who gave you water gushing from hard rock;
the God who gave you manna to eat in the wilderness, something your ancestors had never heard of, in order to give you a taste of the hard life, to test you so that you would be prepared to live well in the days ahead of you.
17-18 If you start thinking to yourselves, “I did all this. And all by myself. I’m rich. It’s all mine!”—well, think again. Remember that God, your God, gave you the strength to produce all this wealth so as to confirm the covenant that he promised to your ancestors—as it is today.'
It is critical to know and understand that Praising can quite literally save our lies. When you get that magic call that you've been accepted into a company for a new job - Thank you Lord. When you pass by an accident scene and find you are still intact - Thank you so much for keeping me safe my King. When you see someone walking in crutches because they don't have a leg - Thank you for both my legs Lord of the heavens.
Watch it...
Every opportunity we get to Praise God for anything from the clouds in the sky to the clothes on our bodies, from the child that is still running around in the house to the business we've just started, from the new hairstyle you just did, to the family we still have. We need to remember that it is God Who gives us the strength to do all these things!
We Continue To Praise On The Next Post...
TGBTG!
The Messenger
Stay Blessed, Be Multiplied!
