Because of Him

Alright, I admit that it doesn't happen very often, and rightfully so, but I do like a little praise every now and again; that's not easy to admit. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't like people making a big to-do over me or anything that I do, but, every now and again, to have someone recognize what I did is pretty nice, humbling but nice.

On the other hand, I think we give praise way too easily in other areas. We can have a tendency to praise athletes for playing well. Aren't they supposed to? Isn't that why they are out there? Again, I want to encourage them and give them some love but don't go overboard with it, especially when they have been gifted in that area. I know, I sound as if I am a little envious or jealous, but, I am not. I think we, and they, should give more praise where it is due.

Today's word is Psalm 148:13, NLT, which reads, "Let them all praise the name of the LORD. For His name is very great; His glory towers over the earth and Heaven!"

The LORD is worthy and deserving of all our praise. He has done, is doing, and will do such wonderfully, marvelous things in our lives, and that is worthy of all our praise. But, note that the verse tells us, "Let them ALL...", we should ALL praise Him; we should all acknowledge that every good thing we have is because of Him.

Be Blessed,
