A Daily Devotional
About gratitude and praise…
Psalms 72:18 Praise be to the Lord God,
the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds. 19 Praise be to his glorious
name forever; may the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen and Amen (NIV)
To rest in the love of God
requires an outpouring of your spirit in praise before Him. When you praise God
in any circumstance, you draw near to Him. You draw near to God when you thank
Him for all the moments of your life. When you can say "Thank you for this
moment in my life," you are then able to receive back the full measure of
the Lord's love. When you love the Lord, He instantly loves you back. When you
express your gratitude to Christ, you are instantly drawn to His side. Gratitude
and praise are warranted from you for He is always with you when you need Him.
Christ is even with you if you do not ask Him to be. When you feel unloved, He
pours His love into your heart. When you are misunderstood, He understands you.
When you are lonely, you are not truly alone for He is with you. Praise God,
because He gives you new eyes to see and new ears to hear. Praise God, for God
the Father sent His son into the world to die for you, a lowly sinner. Praise
God, for in the times of your most intense pain and deepest darkness, for He is
there for you, comforting you because He is your friend.
