praise His holy name...

my life drastically changed...when...many many years ago...i heard a sermon on praise...one of the questions asked was..."what separates believers into mediocre christians...and christians truly enthusiastic about their faith?"

the answer? simple...it is the habit of praising God...daily...

what i changed in my life...

somewhere in my daily life...clearly apart from corporate worship...i started structuring a time for praising God...not asking for anything...not looking for anything...not with any other motive except to praise Him...

God desires and deserves our praise...but...more important...you & i need the experience...

so how do you do this?

when you wake each morning...praise God for another day...when things are difficult...take time to offer praise for the world...for love...and for shelter from the storms...when times are rushed and stressful...stop and praise God for a life that utilizes all your skills...then praise God for the wonder of creation...of which you are a tiny part...when good things happen...stop and praise God for His goodness...when you look at your family...or see photos of loving friends and family...praise God in a big way...

praising God reduces your cares...levels your anxieties...and multiplies your blessings...

why would you not want to start today?
