Praise

Sun and moon, praise God!
All of you bright stars, praise God!
Let all of these praise the LORD’s name
     because God gave the command 
     and they were created!
~ Psalm 148:3, 5 (CEB)

Worthy, O Master! Yes, our God!
Take the glory! the honor! the power!
You created it all;
It was created because you wanted it.

~ Revleation 4:11 (MSG)

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Give God all the credit, for he is a creator behind everything that exists.

PRAYER
You, O God, are worthy of all honor -- all of our attention. We confess that we let the anxieties of life and our own desire for attention to distract us from properly honoring you. Show me how to set all of that aside so that I can join with the rest of creation in praising you. You're the one who makes it all happen! Amen!
