Good morning.
The desire to give praise is hardwired in all humans. As followers of Christ, we are called to direct that tendency to the One who made us. The apostle Peter says it like this: “You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light” (1 Peter 2:9).
Isn't that amazing? We are God’s own people: created, chosen, and called by Him to live a life of praise, both on our own and with other followers of Christ. David, the psalmist, says, “I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth” (Psalm 34:1). However, he’s not content to be a solo act. He exhorts other believers to join him: “Exalt the Lord with me, and let’s exalt His name together.” (Psalm 34:3)
So let’s praise Him when we start the workday and each evening as we lie down to rest. Also, let’s remember to praise Him not only for what He has done but also who He is, His attributes. God truly is worthy of our adoration!
Have an amazing week.
Blessings.
