I
hope you have all had a good week. I'm happy it is Friday, though.
Psalm 7:17 says, I will thank the Lord because He is just, I will sing praise to the name of the Most High.
Stop and think... how often do we thank the Lord for who He is? Do we ever praise His name?
The scriptures state that we enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. If we aren't walking in thankfulness and full of praise for God, then, we are not walking in His presence. Yes, He will never leave us Or forsake us, however, we cannot experience the joy of His presence first hand without thanks and praise being in our hearts.
I encourage each and every one of you to try this today... Set some time when you can be alone and thank God for what He has done for you. Count those times He has extended grace and mercy to you. Thank Him for each one. Praise Him for His attributes, love, grace, mercy, patience, faithfulness, persistence, provision, and ever listening ears to hear our cry. Be sincere. And watch how quickly His presence surrounds you. I guarantee that you will experience a joy that you can't explain. For God inhabits the praises of His people.
May you experience that joy and peace today. May you walk closely with Him and shine as a beacon wherever you are today. -- JP
