Praise on!
From the rising of the sun until it sets, from the constantly shifting places where it rises and sets, continue on praising God! ~ Psalm 113:3 (ABP)
Praise the Lord,
the God of Israel!
He has come
to save his people.
Our God has given us
a mighty Savior...
~ Luke 1:68-69a (CEV)
KEY IDEA:
Continue praising God because he deserves it!
PRAYER:
Lord, you are worthy of all our constant praise and adoration. And even though we are irregular and half-hearted in how we do that, help us to not give up. You have come to save us from our failures. So even when we are inadequate in what we do we are successful because we are turning to you as Savior. I 'm aiming to make your praise my life's work. Amen.
