PUT YOUR HEART INTO IT: Let's Just Praise The Lord Our God!

Praise Is A Beautiful Thing To Hear 
When It Is Justified, True 
And 
Heartfelt 
And 
Unforced! 

People Offer Praise To Get Power And Perks 
But
We ... As Christians
Give Our Praise To The Great And Glorious One 
Who Is All Power
And
To Whom Glory, Praise And Honor Rightfully Belongs! 

Book It ...

It Cannot Be Overstressed That
All Of Our Praise Belongs To The Infinite God 
From Whom, By Love, With Mercy
For Grace ... Unmerited Favor
All Of Our Blessings Seen And Unseen
Known And Unknown
Unrequested, Unappreciated
Unthought Of 
And 
Unacknowledged
Generously, Unfailingly, Daily, Flow! 

The Lord Jesus Christ 
Is 
Good To Us 
Because 
He Is Good And Kind 
And 
Forever Faithful
And 
Eternally Loves Us Personally 
And 
Sacrificially! 

Beloved, 

Please Let Us Do Right
Because 
It Is Right
And
For Love Of The Lord
And 
With Grateful, Thankful, Loving Hearts 
- Overflowing With Joy Unspeakable -
Give Our Great And Glorious God
Unfeigned Aka Real, True, Honest, Praise! 

Jesus Christ ... The Only One Righteous
Is 
Worthy To Be Praised 
So Let's Do It
Not Just Because It Is Commanded
But 
For The Very Real Joy ... And Sure Blessings It Brings 
To The Heart That Finds Its Worth 
And
Its Pleasures In Knowing, Honoring, Worshipping 

And 

Willingly Praising 
The King Of Love 
The God Of Grace Now
And 
The God Of Glory Soon To Come 
And 
To Share! 

All The Praise, Glory And Honor 
Rightfully Belongs To Almighty God!!

Indeed It Does!

And I Say "AMEN!!!" To That! 

Brethren,

We Can't Praise Our Lord Enough 
For His Goodness Towards Us 

So Let Us Get Our Praise Practice In Now 

So That We Shall Be Able To Praise Him 
In The World To Come ... And Forevermore! 

Hallelujah ... And AMEN!!!

THANKS GIVING: How Would You Feel...?!

Dear Ones,

The Reason That There Are So MANY VERSES In The Bible 
Regarding Asking For Gifts 
AND 
Thanksgiving For Benefits Received
Is
To Remind Us 
To Remember 
Our Manners!

Think For Yourself:

How Would You Feel About A Child 
Whose Voice Only Extended To Cover Two Things :

"Give Me ...!"

AND

"I Want ...!"

How Would You Feel About A Child 
Who Ignores Your Rules 
AND
Directions 
But
ALWAYS 
Has A Hand In Your Wallet Or Pocket!

How Would You Feel About A Child 
Who Never 
Humbly Asked 
For Anything 
BUT
Always Aggressively 
Presumptuously 
DEMANDS
That You Provide For Him Her
BUT
Is NEVER Willing 
To Go On Even The Smallest Errand For You!

How Would You Feel About 
Your Child 
Who Never Blesses Your Faithful Giving 
BUT
Who Curses You 
For Not Giving Into Their Very Often 
Foolish 
AND
Dangerous
Wants?

How Would You Really Feel About 
The God Who Gives His Children
Only 
Party Food And Favors 
BUT
Never Life-Sustaining Food?

How Would You Honestly Feel About 
The God Who Would Give 
A Growing Child 
A Homestead In Candy Land 
With The Stipulation That 
That Child Never Go To 
Vegetable Village
Nor To 
Wise Water-Ways
Nor To 
Heaven-Sent Glades?

Think On This:

The Very God Who Desires
To Hear Our Humble Prayers 
AND 
Petitions
IS
The Very Same God
Who Desires To Hear
Our Glorious Praise 
AND
Joyful Words Of Thanksgiving 
Before
When 
AND
After 
He Blesses Us
With The Desires Of Our Hearts!

Almighty God
Is Also
The Same God
Who Desires To Hear Us Say:

"Thank You, Father!"

For His Saving Grace
Protecting Us
From Making The Biggest Mistakes
Of Our Lives
By His Withholding
That Which Was Not
To Our Blessing!

When We Request A Favor
From A Friend
Do We Not Say:

"Thanks ... In Advance!"

Is Not The Living God

Worth Much More

Than This!

Lest We Forget ...

In Highest Gratitude
We Should Also "Throw In!" 
A Little Something Extra Each
For The Blessings Of:

• Food
• Shelter
• Clothing
• Life
• Love
• Health
• Wealth
• Friends
• Family
• Trees
• Grass
• Air
• Sunshine
• Rain
• Exercise
• Peace
• Rest
• Belief
• Blessing
• Faith
• Living Hope
• Hope For Glory
• Etc., etc..

Saying "Thank You!" 
To Our Holy God 

AND

Praising Him 
For His Blessings Toward Us 

CANNOT 

Diminish Us 
In Neither 

Our Eyes Nor His! 

Praise Costs Us Nothing 

AND

Blesses Us Mightily 

In The Realm Of The Great Unknown!

Heaven's 
Unspeakable Glories 
Await!

Let Us Practice 
Our Praising
The Almighty God
For His Glorious Bounties
To Us

From 
All Like NOW!!
