King David was a worshipper. As part of his daily worship, he would praise God on the harp. But not only did he praise God, he sung unto the Lord with thanksgiving and gratitude. Psalm 147:7 says: “Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God” The EHV Bible says it this way: “Respond to the Lord with thanksgiving”. So as part of our praise, we should respond to the Lord with gratitude and thanksgiving. This pleases God’s heart and is part of REAL worship and praise! Many people in churches today enjoy the worship experience, but they are not really praising God. They are just singing along as part of the group experience. They are not grateful to God, nor do they offer thanksgiving to God. Jesus once said in Matthew 15:8: :These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me”. Wow, that is very revealing. My question to you is: Are you daily praising God with a grateful heart? Are you mixing your daily praise with genuine thanksgiving? Our Lord Jesus knows our hearts, and gratitude and thanksgiving pleases HIm. What does God see when your praise goes up to His Presence?
Inspiration and practical wisdom for everyday life
Hallelujah !!! Thank you Jesus. Thank you Apostle .
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Matthew 15:8 is so on point Apostle Nazario! People praise God with their lips and for what He can do , but NOT for who He truly is. Hearts are so far away that people worship HIM when it is convenient in their lives. It is time to “Stop playing church and be the church”. Powerful and filled with God’s TRUTH!
Thank you Lord for your blessing. Thank you for everything. I will always worship you. Amen
All HONOR AND GLORY BE TO JESUS, PRAISE GOD, THANK YOU LORD FOR THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE YOU MADE FOR ALL OF US, FOREVER I WILL BE GRATEFUL JEZUS, AMEN AND AMEN.
Praise God! Amen!
Amen
