Day 49: Worthy of Our Praise

Have you ever been in a situation and the only explanation you have for getting through it is God. You can’t say anything else but, “It was God.”

Sometimes I am so in awe of my heavenly Father that words fail me because they cannot describe how awesome God is. I live for those moments, the ones where I look back over my life and see how God’s hand has always been on me, how he was guiding me the whole time. How we was going before me, and fighting on my behalf, clearing the path so I can walk through untouched.

-Dyamond

God is just that great, we might not see His hand but we know it’s there. We will probably never be able to wrap our minds completely around the goodness of God. We learn more and more everyday about how great He is. The honest to God truth is that some things man can never understand, some things are so far beyond our capability that there is no other explanation but a living god.

Psalms 118:16

The strong right arm of the LORD is raised in triumph. The strong right arm of the LORD has done glorious things!

In the Lord we find victory, and peace. The glory of God is our stronghold, God has done so much for us, He is constantly working on our behalf. We are constantly thanking God for what He has done and what He is going to do, but I want to add something onto that. Let’s thank God for what He is doing right now, don’t wait until the storm is over, or until we get what we want to praise Him, he deserves our praise every second of everyday. He is glorious, all things good come from Him. We serve an all powerful, all knowing, God.

The most amazing thing about God is that no matter what happens, or what we do, He could never love us less. God loved us even when we didn’t deserve it. He is the one constantly keeping us going, He is the one who gives us a reason to live everyday, just by waking us up. There is nothing too big for Him. We find hope in the Lord because we know that there’s always a victory in His hands, even when we are in our darkest days, our deliverance, or breakthrough lies in the hands of God.

Psalms 150

Praise the Lord!

Praise God in his sanctuary;

praise him in his mighty heavens!

Praise him for his mighty deeds;

praise him according to his excellent greatness!

Praise him with trumpet sound;

praise him with lute and harp!

Praise him with tambourine and dance;

praise him with strings and pipe!

Praise him with sounding cymbals;

praise him with loud clashing cymbals!

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord!

The chapter alone tells us to praise the Lord thirteen times throughout six verses. It says let everything that has breath praise the Lord. We have the very breath of God running through our bodies. That alone is to be praised. His breath gave us life, and continues to breath into us everyday. When we think about our lives, when we look at the positions we are in, we start to see that God’s hand is on us. We start to see his glory showering and hovering over our lives. He is worthy of our praise, as His children we are to live to worship Him. We are made to worship. No matter where we are in life there is always something to thank God about, because literally we are nothing without Him. I know this is something we say often but when we put in in perspective, who are we without God? If we removed God completely from the picture, what do we have? We cannot breathe without Him, we cannot walk without HIm, we cannot be a person without Him. We cannot live without Him. The same person that wakes us up in the morning is the same person who puts food on our table, the same person who makes sure that our hearts are beating is the same person who makes sure we are clothed, and warm (He created the source of warmth, the sun). God has His hand in every part of our life. We must praise Him with everything. Because everything we are is because of everything He is.  

Reflection/ Prayer Time

Today, take the time to recognize the greatness of our God. The glorious hand of our Savior. The powerful and merciful God, the alpha and Omega, the Great I AM. Recognize how God’s hand is on your life. Take the time to thank HIm, take the time to talk to God about how much He means to you. Take as much time as you want or need and just rest with God. Spend time with Hmm, whatever that means to you, but take some time to give your full attention to God, and love on Him. God is so great!

I pray that you day and/or evening is amazing. I love you, enjoy yourself, and make sure you come back tomorrow for Day 50!
