In the Words of A Song!

In The Words of A Song!


Yesterday, I heard a song that blessed my soul.  The words of the chorus
were:


"As good as God has been to me, I can't afford not to praise His name. As
good as God has been to me, I'm Gonne give him the highest praise.
HALELUYA, HALELUYA, give Him the highest praise."


     It was obvious to me that this songwriter had a testimony.  He had
some hard places to get through.  He had some lonely days and sleepless
nights.  He had some impossibilities that were made possible.  In the midst
of it all, he found the answer.  Give God the Praise!


     Many of us are looking for answers to questions that really don't
matter in the grand scheme of living in God.  If we would take that same
energy and just give God the praise, those answer, questions, concerns,
matters, desires, problems, etc.—would not matter as much to us.


     Time and time again, God has given you something to praise Him for.
Time after time, you've missed it.  If you have your health, you have a
praise.  If you have your mind, you have a praise.  If you can move under
your own strength, you have a praise.  You have a job, food, clothing,
breath, and life, you have a praise!  Even if you don't have what you want,
you have what you need so, you have a praise.


     The Bible says to let everything that has breath, praise the Lord.
That includes you.


     Praise God today!  Now is the acceptable time.  As good as He has been
to you, you don't have a right not to praise Him.
