Have you had your JOY JUICE today? When we read from the
book of Psalms, we find reason after reason to be JOYful!
Pick up
your Bible and turn to the center; there you’ll find the book of Psalms. This book is a beautiful collection of
prayers and songs. David and the other
writers openly and unashamedly poured out their true feelings. When we read attentively, we notice that their words reflect a deep love
for God and a life-changing relationship with Him. “The Psalmists confess their
sins, express their doubts and fears, ask God for help in times of trouble, and
they praise and worship him.” (Life Ap.
Bible intro to Psalms)
Today let’s
talk about “PRAISE”! Psalms includes
many songs of praise to God as our Creator, our Sustainer, our Redeemer! Do you know what PRAISE is….it’s recognizing,
appreciating and expressing God’s greatness.
Focusing
our thoughts on God is important because it moves us to want to praise
Him. The more we know him, the closer we
will draw to Him and the more we can appreciate what He has done for us! This fills our hearts with JOY and
gratitude…which leads to PRAISE!
“Shout
for JOY to the Lord, all the earth,” Psalm
100 instructs.
As we go
along our way today, let’s focus on God and His greatness. Before we know it, we may be singing a song
of JOYful praise!
Praise Him! Praise Him….all you JOYful
people!
