Praise Him

 I am pretty sure that we all have our moments when we think that we are all that. Maybe it is during an athletic event, or a dance recital, or a musical, or an artistic challenge, but, I bet we have all had those moments when we felt as if we deserved to have praise and glory heaped upon us. While I have done very little spectacularly in my life, I, too, have had my moments.

Yes, I have had a few moments when I received praise for something, and felt as if I had really deserved it. I even felt that, maybe, I really was that good, or that intelligent, or that funny, or that talented. The truth is, as we all know, that anything I am able to do is because of GOD.

Today's word is Psalm 115:1, NKJV, which reads, "Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, But to Your name give glory, Because of Your mercy, Because of Your truth."

While it is nice for people to praise me, and believe me, we all need that from time to time, the truth is that the only One worthy of praise is GOD. He has made us. He has equipped us. He has prepared us. He has been merciful to us. He alone deserves our praise, and to be praised.

Look, we all need a little praise and encouragement from time to time, we ALL do. But, let's remember that GOD is worthy of all praise because, of His mercy and truth. Praise Him!

Be Blessed,
