My mouth is filled with your praise, glorifying you all day long. ~ Psalm 71:8 (CEB)
Be joyful always, pray at all times, be thankful in all circumstances. This is what God wants from you in your life in union with Christ Jesus. ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (GNT)
KEY IDEA:
Because of our close connection with Christ Jesus we can't help but praise God -- no matter how bad or good things are.PRAYER:
Lord, you are worthy of all praise -- even the praise I forget to let come out of my mouth. Sometimes I'm better at complaining than I am at praising. This is because I let myself drift away from Jesus. Pull me back close to you and let the praises start again. Amen.
