As a new year begins, what are your thoughts
dwelling on? Is your heart, mind and soul filled with praise to God? Not just
praise to God for this moment, but praise that wells up in your soul
continuously, throughout the joys, routine and stress of life.
Once you were dead in your sins, broken,
trapped, hungering and thirsting for more. Through faith in Jesus, God out of
his great love for you has transformed you. Now you are forgiven, healed,
rescued, loved, and satisfied. You are God’s child! As you go about your daily
routine, may your heart be overwhelmed with the goodness of God. At those times
when life becomes so difficult that praise seems impossible, cry out in utter
honesty to God, and tell him that it is too hard to praise him and ask him to remind
you of his loving kindness. As you turn your eyes upon Jesus, as you look full
in His wonderful face, if there are things that are overwhelming you, or things
that are stressing you out, they will grow strangely dim in the light of His
glory and grace
May remembering what God has done for you, and
praising God be your focus today and every day. May your life be enriched with
love and thankfulness!
Even as your heart and soul are filled with
praise to God consider the people who work for you and with you. How can you
live your life in such a way that these people know your soul is constantly
filled with praise to God? How can you lead these people so that they know that
the Lord works righteousness and justice for the oppressed, that the Lord is
compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love?
