Stop what you’re doing! I want everyone who reads this to take some time to think about how God has blessed you lately. I’ll wait while you think…Now I want us all to write down seven blessings that came to your mind. I’ll wait while you do that…

Now that we’ve done this, let’s take one of these blessings each day this week and get caught up in praising the Lord for blessing us so richly.

The practice of praising God is a topic we talk about but seldom practice. Yes, we know that God enjoys listening to His family thank Him for all He has done and given, but do we get so enthusiastically involved in doing praise that others will look at us like we’ve lost control? Ponder on these verses:

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. (James 1:17 ESV)

…The LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations. (Psalm 100:5)

I don’t believe it is enough just to know that God is good we must express our thankfulness to Him for being good to us. We must not take God for granted; we should passionately shout His goodness so others will hear that God does make a difference in our lives.

If you are reading this then you are one of the blessings I am praising God for this week. I love being a part of your life and am so thankful to God for you!

Grace & Peace, Scott
