Give Credit Where Credit is Due.

In Bible study the last few weeks/months, we've talked offering God the sacrifice of praise... and of overflowing with thanksgiving always.

It's hard to always "praise" God... especially when things get rough.
Or is it JUST when things are rough?
How about when life is going seemingly swimmingly?


Lately, God is teaching me to truly sing His praises in all things - literally and figuratively.

When things are rough, I turn to Him... and cry out for healing.
In doing so, I realize how truly beautiful, powerful, and amazing He is!
And can't help but praise Him.... even before I get an answer - because I know it will come.


When things are going well, I bask in His presence.
Being saturated in The Word, and in His wisdom and spirit can only lead to me praising Him for any accomplishments I might have - hence keeping me grounded.
In fact, I can't HELP but overflow with His praises!

Did I really write that song?
No... God gave it to me, in a moment of true hardship and yearning.
And now I want to share it with whoever needs blessings from Him.



It really all comes down to a very simple concept:
The closer you are to Him...
the better you understand His Will for your life...
the more frequent those God-vision glimpses you get...
... the easier it will be to praise Him in all things - and give Him credit where it is due.

For He alone deserves it!
