He is Worthy of Our Praise

Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous! For praise from the upright is beautiful. ~ Psalm 33:1

Do you ever just sit and think about God? I mean REALLY THINK ABOUT GOD! When I take time to reflect on who He is, I feel myself smiling on the inside! A smile appears on my face! I am overwhelmed with joy! There is NO ONE like our God!!

As much as we love our parents, our spouse, our children, etc, they don't compare to God. And the love we have for them doesn't even come close to the love that He has for us! For those who have had children, remember the feeling you had the first time you held your baby in your arms. This baby is a part of you. You carried it for all those months. You supplied it with all the nourishment it needed to grow strong and healthy.

You know what, you are part of God! He gave you life. He created you in His image. He has fed you and sustained you. He has been with you since the very beginning. He has helped you to grow and mature. He has nourished your body. He gave you His Spirit to comfort you and guide you. He sent His one and only Son to die for You so that you would never have to be separated from Him. He loves you with an everlasting love and He wants you to be secure in His love!

God is everything you need! He is more than enough! He holds your world in His hands and He has promised to never leave you nor forsake you! Take time every day to think about just how awesome He is! Look where He has brought you from! Think back to all the situations He has brought you through! Remember how He has always been faithful and met every need according to His will!

As you reflect on the very character and nature of God, you won't be able to keep yourself from praising Him! You can't be silent! We were made to praise Him! He longs to hear us give honor and glory to Him just for who He is! Our praise is beautiful to Him! He alone is worthy of our praise!

I encourage you to spend today just praising Him! Don't ask Him for anything. Just praise Him!
