Good Morning everyone,
It is a rainy morning here in Jackson, MS and I'm thankful to be inside where it is warm and dry. I woke up this morning with a praise chorus running through my mind. It says in part "I'm gonna praise my Jesus 'till the walls come down. I know there's victory behind my praise. I'm gonna dance my troubles away." Then I began to think about the next part of the Lord's prayer. "Hallowed be thy name".
This is the part of the prayer where we began to thank God for his blessings. And even more so, we worship him for being who he is in our lives. He is such a constant friend and comforter. He is always right there no matter what we need. Praise and worship will take us into the presence of God quicker than anything else. In fact, to come near him we must acknowledge him, not only as saviour, but as king and Lord.
It is not just a cliche. Praise is the gateway into God's presence. If you are feeling low today just began to contemplate God's goodness. Ask him to give you a renewed appreciation for his grace and mercy. Find SOMETHING to praise him about. It will make all the difference.
HOLY IS HIS NAME!
