Today, I praise You, Lord, because of who You are! Praise blesses the Lord but also changes me, my attitude, my perception, and my focus!
In Psalm 95, we can read: “Oh come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation! Let us come into His presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to Him with songs of praise! For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods.”
“Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker! For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His pasture.”
Why should I praise and worship the Lord?
- Begin singing to the Lord! It will change your feelings and focus! Start playing worship music and watch what changes in You.
- Begin to make a joyful noise to the Lord! Begin to count your blessings and not your problems!
- Begin to come into His presence with thanksgiving! Start thanking the Lord for His presence in your life and for His promise that He will never leave or forsake you!
- Focus on the greatness of Your God! Praise yourself: “How great is our God!” Focusing on God’s greatness, not the size of the problems, will lift you up!
- Remind yourself that He is our God, our Shepherd, and we belong to Him!”
Lord, I am all in to focus on You today!
