Praise Him Daily (Psalm 72:15-16)

Today's scripture: Psalm 72:15-16

The apostle Paul wrote that we’re to “pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17). And King David wrote, “I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth” (Psalm 34:1).

We should be praying and praising all the time … but how often do we do either? We tend to pray when we need something. We praise Him when things are going well.

But think about how different your life would be if prayer and praise were the first things you did rather than afterthoughts? What if you were that focused on God and His will?

Would your thought-life be different? Would you speak differently? Would you act differently?

What if all of us who followed Christ did the same? How would the world perceive us?

More loving? More compassionate? More servant-hearted? More joyful? More peaceful?

This morning, commit to make God your true focus today. Pray throughout the day. Just thanking Him for what He’d doing in your life. Confessing every sin. Interceding for others.

Finally, praise Him continually. For everything and anything.

See what a difference it might make.
