Thank him for his awesome work.
Praise him for how awesome he is.
COLOSSIANS 3:16 (TCEB)
Keep the stories and teachings of Jesus alive in your life—vibrantly alive. Draw from them wisely as you teach each other and as you correct each other when necessary. You’ll also find help by singing psalms, hymns, and other spiritual songs. Sing them all with gratitude in your heart for what God has done.
THE ESSENCE
Praise God through your thankfulness.
DAILY FODDER
What is the difference between thankfulness and praise? How does thankfulness fuel praise? How do we maintain a high level of thanksgiving and praise in our lives?
PRAYER
Awesome God, when I consider all that you have done and are doing I'm thankful. And when I think about it, it helps me recognize who you are as a being. Forgive me for failing to make the connections because I'm so caught up in everything that I am unaware. Fill my life with the kind of teaching and singing that draws out the gratitude and ultimately the praise that is rightfully yours. I'm going to allow the Jesus story to nurture thanksgiving and praise. Amen.
