Today I choose to give God praise no matter what
goes on around me. When the burdens of this world seem too hard to bear, I will
still praise HIM. When my heart is breaking today for a mother preparing to
release her young daughter into the arms of Jesus because cancer has overtaken
her body, I will still praise HIM. When my loved ones suffer job loss and
financial hardships, I will still praise HIM. When I see the news of a country
that has turned away from God, I will still praise HIM. When the uncertainty of
everything around me is heavy, I will still praise HIM.
Why?
Because HE IS GOD!
"Let all that I am praise the Lord; with my whole heart, I
will praise his holy name. Let all that I am praise The Lord; may I never
forget the good things he does for me. He forgives all my sins and heals all my
diseases. He redeems me from death and crowns me with love and tender mercies.
He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like the eagle’s! The
Lord gives righteousness and justice to all who are treated unfairly. He
revealed his character to Moses and his deeds to the people of Israel. The Lord
is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing
love. He will not constantly accuse us, nor remain angry forever. He does not
punish us for all our sins; he does not deal harshly with us, as we deserve.
For his unfailing love toward those who fear him is as great as the height of
the heavens above the earth. He has removed our sins as far from us as the east
is from the west. The Lord is like a father to his children, tender and
compassionate to those who fear him. For he knows how weak we are; he remembers
we are only dust. Our days on earth are like grass; like wildflowers, we bloom
and die. The wind blows, and we are gone— as though we had never been here. But
the love of the Lord remains forever with those who fear him. His salvation
extends to the children’s children of those who are faithful to his covenant,
of those who obey his commandments! The Lord has made the heavens his throne;
from there he rules over everything. Praise the Lord, you angels, you mighty ones
who carry out his plans, listening for each of his commands. Yes, praise the
Lord, you armies of angels who serve him and do his will! Praise the Lord,
everything he has created, everything in all his kingdom. Let all that I am
praise the Lord. "
Psalms 103:1-22 (NLT)
So, today, I will still praise HIM! Forever and
ever!
"But as for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you
more and more."
Psalms 71:14 (NIV84)
"The Lord is near the brokenhearted; he delivers those who are
discouraged."
Psalms 34:18 (NET)
