It Is Good To Praise The Lord!

You know, I was thinking. Danny Bacus wrote a song a few years back titled "It Is Good To Praise The Lord". It has a very catchy tune and its meaning runs very deep with me. The idea is that it is a good thing to give God the praise. No matter what is happening around us we can find something to praise God about. He has created everything from the beginning to be good and we need to remember that.

Many of you have heard me say that “I don’t always know the right thing to do, but most of the time I know what is the wrong thing to do!” If I simply avoid the wrong things I believe that God will bless whatever decision I make. We have to start each and every day with giving God the praise. He desires it and He deserves it! When things are going great then praise the Lord! When things are going bad then praise the Lord! When you are on the mountaintop then praise the Lord! When you are in the valley then praise the Lord! No matter what your circumstance are at the time, you can always give God the praise.

We live in a world of great negativity. Many people are looking for the bad in everything. Although there are a lot of bad things going on in our world, there are also many good things happening. God’s desire is to bless us! He is anxiously waiting for us to give Him that opportunity. God will always bring us just what we need right when we need it, but we MUST be seeking him and giving Him the glory in all things.

If you are feeling a little weak today then give Him praise. If you are feeling strong and courageous today then give Him praise. If you are in good health today then give Him praise. If you are sick today then give Him praise. No matter where you are at today, put the praise of the Father at the top of your list. Be blessed beyond belief today.
