"I will bless the Lord at
all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth." Psalm
34:1
This morning when I woke up the first sound I heard was a
bird chirping outside of my window. Of course, I had no idea what it was
"saying", but it was such a pleasant, happy sound to wake up to.
What was the first sound others heard from you this
morning? Was it the sound of praise? Was it a sound of joy? Was it the sound
of thanksgiving? Or was it the sound of complaining, fussing or arguing? Did
they hear hurtful, critical, bitter or angry words from you?
As humans we face difficulties, pain and hard times.
Things are not always pleasant or perfect in our lives. But if we are a child
of God, should there be any words other than praise and thanksgiving coming from
our mouths? After all, like it has been said often, "We have so much to be
thankful for". Even when life is at its worse, we can still open our mouths and
give God praise for all the wonderful things and blessings He has sent our way.
(Which, if I might add, far out way the bad things.)
Jesus said that if we don't praise Him the rocks would cry
out-- they would begin to speak and give Him praise. I don't know about you,
but even on my worse days, I don't want a rock praising Him in my place. He has
been tooooooo good to me for me to allow that to happen. I am going to "out
praise" the rocks. He loves me, He gave His life for me, He has a home prepared
for me. Even if nothing else is working in my favor, that is more than enough
to praise Him for. Therefore, no rock is going to give Him the praise He
deserves to receive from me... and neither is a bird.
Have a great day. What sounds/ words are people hearing
from you?

Its such as you read my mind! You seem to grasp a lot about this, such as
you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you simply could do with
some % to drive the message house a little bit, but instead of that, that is wonderful blog. A great read. I'll certainly be back.
