On this day the Lord has made . . .

As I was driving home from the grocery store I heard a man on the radio ask what we were leaving our children/grandchildren. He mentioned how he would choose, over any amount of money, the writings from his grandfather . . . if he had left any.

So, I have determined to create a diary/journal of what happened to me on this day(s) the Lord has granted me.

Praise

Praising God.

God our Father
God our Creator
God our Encourager
God our Protector
God our Saviour
God, the lover of our souls.


Dr. Michael Youssef is speaking on praising God and how God moves closer to us when we are praising Him. He is telling us how God comes into our life and takes over. The goodness of God, the grace of God, the mercy of God - God's graciousness towards us.
 
A life of praising the Lord. A life of praise. This is what we were created for.
 
To praise our God. To proclaim Him.
 
The purpose of life is to bring praise glory and honor to Jesus Christ.
 
For some reason I'm not able to say it out loud to people. It's like it is cheapened because everyone says, 'bless you or God bless you' and it's just like a saying. To me saying praise God makes me tremble inside.
