Psalm 68:4-5 Sing to God, sing in praise of his name, extol him who rides on the clouds; rejoice before him--his name is the LORD. A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling.
Sometimes God speaks through a still small voice. He might use a Godly brother or sister to deliver a much needed message. He has even been known to use a giant finger to write on a wall. But in this particular instance in my life, God is nudging me through a steady stream of praise-oriented verses.
I will often times use a "Verse of the Day" from biblegateway.com for my morning devotional time. Several times over the past weeks the verse has focused on praise, a weak area of my quiet time.
So often when I try to spend time in praise, I find myself slipping into a laundry list of things for which I am thankful. Or worse yet, my mind wanders to a daily to-do list. But as I discover more and more verses I realize how an important a part of individual and corporate worship praise should be.
Time to praise more and type less.
