"Praise the Lord, all nations; Laud Him, all peoples! For His lovingkindness is great toward us, and the truth of the Lord is everlasting. Praise the Lord!"
James 5:13b states, "Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praises." Do we really? Or are we so caught up with our lives and wants that we do not even stop and think what great things our Father in Heaven has done for us? This month the youth group and myself have begun our journey to grow in our spiritual worship through praise.
I enjoy driving and being able to see the beauty of God's handiwork around me. To me the most beautiful work is the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee and the horizon around Denver when you exit the airport. I get chills just looking at such beauty. I then will offer of a prayer of thanksgiving to God for allowing me to see His handiwork. The important question is, what do you do when you see the creation of God?
Here is the challenge. Whatever you do before the day ends make sure you include taking time for God by going outside and looking at the beauty around you and give God the praise for what you see. Meditate on Psalm 150:1-2 - "Praise the Lord! Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty expanse. Praise Him for His mighty deeds; Praise him according to His excellent greatness." Let these words sink in deeply and allow them to transform you into the man or woman He has called you to be. God bless you as you gather together with your church family and let the anthems raise!!
