Thoughts for another day

Today's verse: Ps. 86:12. I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever. (KJV)

(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)

Praise has to be given to God, unceasing and uninterrupted.  No matter what situation of life we're in, we have to praise God.  It's not matter of choice; it's a matter of our life.  God made us to praise Him and invoke His Name all the time, in any and every situation, so that our lives will be a song of His marvelous ways and a wonderful fragrance of His presence.

Praise to God is something so wonderful that only the heart that praises God, knows it and it's a superb feeling to be engulfed in.  It's both a cleansing and healing process and above all, it makes us aware how big God is, yea, even bigger than our biggest problems, our severest sicknesses, or our biggest enemies.  When the human soul praises God, it tells Him that He is bigger than the insurmountable burden before it and that He can manage that insurmountable situation.  Praise to God reveals knowledge of Him for doesn't He say, 'Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you things great beyond reach of your knowledge?  In praising we sense His bigness and His immense capabilities that can be ours; the same capability by which Moses destroyed the Egyptians; by which David fought Goliath and by which Peter raised Tabitha to life.

Like David, let's lift our hearts today in praise to Him, so tomorrow in heaven's terrain, we will not be out of place when the saints of God and the heavenly host, sing to His honor and praise Him always.
