Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.~Psalm 63:3-4
God is good! He is merciful and gracious. He is patient and kind. His love is like no other and it is a privilege to know Him for myself. It is a privilege just to be able to say thank you. I am His child and life with Jesus is sweet!
Just thinking of His goodness and His attributes overwhelms with a joy and peace like no other. I have this ground swelling of praise like a bubbling river waiting to burst out and flow over onto everything. It is this unspeakable joy that keeps me going.
My heart is lifted up and my hands raised to the Most High God. My hands are lifted in praise and thanksgiving as I offer my praises to Him. As I seek to live a life of sacrifice to my King. I reach up in total surrender to Him. My life is His and I am grateful.
Each day, each second of life is a gift and having the ability to open my mouth or raise my hands is a blessing. The desire He places in my heart to do so is a blessing. I must treasure these moments and opportunities. I can’t let them go to waste. I must praise Him in advance for my healing. I will praise Him in advance for strength to overcome any obstacles. I will praise Him in advance for being the solution to any and every problem.
I will turn my heart to praise and my mind toward the will of God. I will not be persuaded to be discouraged. I will encourage myself by offering praises to the love of my life, giver of my soul... Jesus!
Father too often I let foolishness discourage me. I take my eyes of the beauty and strength of who You are. I spend too much time asking and not enough time praising. Forgive me. Father I thank You for being God and I thank You for honor of being in your Kingdom. I love You and I bless your Holy name. In Jesus name do I pray. Amen
