Praise Is About God

Through Him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, acknowledging His name. Hebrews 13:15 NET 

When we gather together online and in person, where God’s Word is read and preached and prayers are lifted up, we will join a chorus of others who herald the good news of the Gospel by singing psalms and hymns to the Lord most high.

Praise is about God, not us. Everything we do should direct our thoughts upward to the reigning Savior. And while worship is fundamentally about God, we cannot help but by His grace come to a better understanding of ourselves as we come to know Him. 

As we sing of Jesus Christ, His holiness, justice and truth, and meditate on His life, death, and resurrection let us remember to examine our own hearts. Are our sins being addressed? What must we grab hold of by faith? My friends, I pray we are receptive to the convicting work of Holy Spirit and the ministry of the Bible, talk about Jesus with others, and let’s take the Truth even further into our own hearts, striding forward to see what God will do in and through us.

Yes Lord! We won’t leave our praise and worship in the kitchen when God wants us to take it with us wherever we go. 

Head into the day with great expectations. God will speak. God is present. Will you seek Him?
