YOU OWN IT: Give The Lord Real Praise!

If We Look Closely

We See In This Text Ownership! 

Peace Belongs To The Lord: 

He Gives To Us A Gift Of His Peace! 

Praise Is Ours To Freely Gift To The Lord! 

Interesting Thing, Though

All That We Call Ours Comes To Us As Gifts From Our God 

So, In Truth And In Fact

What We Are Substantially Giving Back To Our Lord 

Is 

Gratitude! 

What The Lord Gives 

Is 

Given For Good! 

How We Choose To Use It ... By Our Free Will

Says An Awful Lot About What We Have Learned

- And Are Practicing - 

From This God Who Only Gives Good And Perfect Gifts 

To Bless Us! 

Giving Our God Praises Blesses Our God 

And

Blesses Us 

Because

By So Doing

We Are Rising Up Higher And Higher! 

Beloved, 

We Can't Fool The Lord! 

Feint, False, Praise 

Is 

An Abomination 

Because 

It Minimizes The Recipient 

And 

Brands Us As Deceitful 

And 

Untrustworthy

And 

Stagnant In Our Growing In Grace 

As Recipients Of Unmerited Favor! 

We Can't Earn The Lord's Favor 

And

We Can't Buy The Lord's Gifts 

And For Sure

We Can't Exchange The Lord's Good And Perfect Gifts 

To Receive Better From Another More Profitable Source! 

There Ain't None! 

Please Let Us Endeavor Today 

To Abundantly Lavish Praise Upon Our Lord And God

Savior, Redeemer 

And 

Forever Friend 

Like It Is Going Out Of Production 

And 

You Desire To Be The Last Giver Of Praise 

Left Standing At Power Down! 

Giving Praise To Our God Brings Peace!
