Life is about Worship
Praise the Lord, all you nations. Praise him, all you people of the earth. For his unfailing love for us is powerful; the Lord’s faithfulness endures forever. Praise the Lord!. Psalm 117:1-2
What is your response to the age old question – what is life? This short psalm says so much about what life is all about. The key is your relationship with God. You should ‘praise’ and ‘praise’ the Lord (v.1) because of his great ‘love’ for you and ‘faithfulness’ towards you (v.2). The psalmist gives us a beautiful summary of God’s attitude to you, and what your attitude to him should be.
Gratitude overflows from a heart that brings to remembrance all the benefits of knowing and belonging to God. A grateful heart not only praises God for what He does but also knows that all we are is only because of all He is.
My exhortation to you today is simple but life changing. Life is all about worshipping God. In this world you will have trials – expect them – but don’t let them distract or inhibit you from praising God. He is all knowing. He is worthy. He is good. He has compassion. He has showered each of us with more benefits than we realize. A heart that knows this is overflowing with praise. Let all that I am praise the Lord.
Prayer for today: Father God, I praise You because You are worthy and You have been so, so good to me. Thank You for Your unconditional love. Amen.
