"Good job!"
"Atta boy"
"Way to go!"
"Glad you are on the team!"
Receiving praise.
We all look for it from time to time.
from our boss.
from our spouse.
from our kids.
from our friends.
Recognition is something that we all crave.
HOW ABOUT RECOGNIZING GOD?
do we appropriately give Him the due honor and praise that He deserves?
We have so many opportunities throughout our day to give Him praise.
when we wake up in the early morning.
when we drive to work.
when we sit at our desk.
when we walk to the restaurant for lunch.
when we drive to the sitters to pick up the children.
when we cook dinner.
when we wash the dishes.
when we fold a load of laundry.
when we tuck the kids in bed for the night.
when we climb into bed and say goodnight.
Whenever God's blessings well up in your heart, stop right then and tell the Lord how grateful you are for all that He has blessed you with.
Its as easy as "I worship you Lord, for You are worthy to be praised. I need You, and I just want to tell you that I love You. Thank you, Father, for everything." Taking time out of your day, at that very moment, to give Him praise will alter your day. As you go on with the rest of your day, you will be amazed at how God's presence will fill you with gladness.
PSALM 100:4 "Enter His gates with thanksgiving and a thank offering and into His courts with praise! Be thankful and say to Him, bless and affectionately praise His name!"
AREN'T YOU THANKFUL FOR HIS BLESSINGS?
go ahead and take time right now and thank Him and give Him praise!
