Praise is the path that brings us near to God and His love, His power, and His grace.
So if you were to meet David today, would you gladly heed his call to praise God with your entire being—all that you are, all that you have, and all that you will ever be—every day of your life?
Praise is more than obligation—more than a simple spiritual exercise. It is something more than singing songs in church on Sundays. Praise is the path that brings us near to God and His love, His power, and His grace. It brings us closer to the throne of God, draws us into a more intimate relationship with our Creator, Savior, and Lord, and provides us a more fulfilling life on this earth.People driven to know their reason for being. We want our lives to make a difference, to produce something of lasting value. One of mankind's great questions is "What is the purpose of my life?" For those who believe in Jesus as their Savior, their purpose is clear: We exist to bring glory to God. To find a life of meaning, we need only dedicate our lives to worshiping God—savoring and declaring His excellencies to the world. As we do, our eyes will be opened to the love and power of God and our desperate need for Him so that our experience of God grows richer, our faith deeper, and our hope firmer. As we pursue our life's purpose in following Christ, our very lives are an expression of praise to God.
Prayer: Father, help me to embrace my purpose in life—to glorify You. May I praise You today with my entire being. Praise the Lord! I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
"The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be God my Savior!" (Psalm 18:46).
