Praise Week
October 23, 2009
Has anyone ever done anything really good for you. My husband is a very good cook and we often tell him how good his food is and he loves it. It is now to the point that if I cook and get more compliments than he does…he often will keep referring back to the meals that he received
praise for. Praise is when we admire someone for something that they have done and have done quite well. It is good when we praise our families, and it is good when we praise our employees, and it is also good when we praise God.
Sometimes, I can just look at the creation and find myself in awe at how excellent God has created the heavens and the earth. It is especially beautiful this time of year in New England when the leaves are turning red, orange, yellow, and shades of green. People are going apple picking and just enjoying the splendor of what God has made. Psalms 19:1-2 tells us that the heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the
work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display
knowledge. If the heavens can give God praise for all that He has done, I certainly can see on a daily basis why God deserves and is worthy of my praise.
