Praise Him! Praise Him!

Psalm 138

Have you ever stopped to take note of just how often and in what circumstances David praised the Lord? It seems like David praised through it all--the highs, the lows, the in betweens. So if we follow David's example then whatever we're experiencing, we can still praise God--and not just for the present, but for things from the past and even things yet to come.

So how about a little praise-a-thon today? We'll start with some of the same words David used in Psalm 138, but then let's fill in the blank with our own praise to the Lord. Be as broad or as specific, as big or as small, as you want. Our goal is just to let God know how much we love and appreciate Him. Here goes. You fill in the blank at the end.

I give you thanks, O Lord, with all my heart. I give thanks and praise Your name for _______________.

Now I love to praise the Lord so here are just a couple (because I could fill a page) of my praises today.

- I give thanks and praise Your name for the much needed rain You provided this week and the abundant beauty You've given us this springtime.
- I give thanks and praise Your name for healing my husband's cancer and every precious day you give us together.

Now it's your turn. Let the praises begin!! Tami W.
