Praise
“Whoso offereth praise glorifieth Me” (Psalm 50:23).
Praise is not only pleasing to God our Father, but also brings glory to Him. Why? Because we are thanking the Lord for what He has done. And anything that exalts Jesus Christ glorifies God. Perhaps we don’t praise Him enough. (In fact, I know I don’t.) We become so occupied with ourselves, and our own troubles and cares that we stop thinking about the Lord and all that He has done for us.
Let’s start the week with praise — genuine praise from our hearts and on our lips. As we remember that He gave His life for our eternal blessing let’s praise Him — genuinely. It really does give glory to God.
Our verse today does not say “whoso offerethsilence…”
No, He wants to hear our voices. “By Him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name” (Hebrews 13:15). Open your mouth today, and let God hear “the fruit of your lips.”
