Happy Hump Day!! You are "Amost there!!"....one of my favorite songs from "The Princess and the Frog. Today, Wisdom Word Wednesday is about being wise enough to PRAISE. "But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;" (1 Peter 2:9).
The first part of this scripture not only tells you that were chosen by God and who you are in Christ Jesus, but why. And that reason is to proclaim the PRAISES of God who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. Before accepting Jesus into our hearts, we were blind, trapped in utter darkness. When we came to our senses long enough to realize that we cannot do anything without Jesus and needed Him so desperately, the blinders were lifted. We began to see the light. We became FREE to SEE the truth in the name of Jesus. Just knowing that is enough to give God the praise!!
Praise means giving the offering of grateful homage in words or song, as an act of worship. I love to God in words and in song. Praises to God is a way we can express His excellence and goodness. As we grow in our praise and worship in God, we will begin to experience more of God's kingdom power in His presence.
Praises is, also, a simple way to tell God.."Thank You!". Thank you for sacrificing Your Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for my sins. Thank You, God for calling me by name and adopting me into Your family. Thank You, God for being my all in all. So, go ahead and give God the praises for all that He has done for you and for what He has planned in your life. Hallelujah in the name of Jesus!!
