Bible Verse of The Day – 3-27-20

Psalm 86:12 (NKJV) 12 I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I will glorify Your name forevermore.

As believers, bringing praise to God on a daily basis should be part of our walk with Him.

You see, part of praising Him is recognizing the things He has done for us. Although we hear the term “praise and worship” used a lot, praise is actually different than worship.

We praise God for the things He does. We worship Him for who He is.

So, part of praising Him is recognizing the things He has done for us, and in our lives.

Some of what we praise Him for may be material blessings; a job, a place to live, His provision for us, etc.

But we can and should also praise Him for what He has done in our lives; salvation, deliverance, healing, bringing change to our lives, teaching us His word, and so on.

We all have very, very many things to praise Him for, even when we might not always think so. It’s safe to say that there is more about our lives that is good than there is that’s bad.

That in itself is enough to praise Him every day!

Sometimes we need to still our mind and tell it “enough is enough, I’m going to praise my God, and you’re going to be quiet”.

This takes practice, and it takes us recognizing that our mind is trying to run the show. And once we recognize it, we take action, putting God first, where He belongs.

Let’s make an effort to purposely praise God every day, setting aside our cares, our worries and our concerns, and showing Him our gratitude with our words, our songs and by putting Him first in everything that we do.
