How many times do we profess to the
message in this verse—that we will praise You, O Lord, with our whole
heart? Yet when a problem arises or
something goes wrong, we immediately begin to worry or doubt our faith in Jesus
Christ. This verse does not tell us that
we should praise our Lord only when everything is fine, when we are experiencing
no problems. The verse tells us that we
will praise the Lord at all times with our whole heart and that we will tell of
the marvelous woks of our Lord. We do
that through the prayers that we pray, through the attitude we exhibit to
others, through the way in which we treat others, through the way in which we
help others who may be having difficulties.
Our praise should be evident at all times. I challenge each of us today to praise our
Lord and tell of His marvelous works as we go about our daily work.
Prayer: Our Heavenly Father, thank you for the
many blessings that you have bestowed upon each of us. We praise your Holy Name. Help us to show that praise as we work with
others, whether it be in our families, at work, or in our neighborhood. Help us to always show our praise for You. In Your name we pray. Amen
