This is how Praise Looks

1 Chronicles 29: ¹⁰ David praised the Lord in the presence of the whole assembly, saying,

“Praise be to you, Lord,
    the God of our father Israel,
    from everlasting to everlasting.
¹¹ Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power
    and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,
    for everything in heaven and earth is yours.
Yours, Lord, is the kingdom;
    you are exalted as head over all.
¹² Wealth and honor come from you;
    you are the ruler of all things.
In your hands are strength and power
    to exalt and give strength to all.
¹³ Now, our God, we give you thanks,
    and praise your glorious name.

============

What I love about King David’s words of praise is he never mentions himself, only GOD. He praises GOD for the things I blame HIM for.  Yes, when I complain about my situation I blame GOD like HE doesn’t know what’s going on. When I complain I don’t have enough I blame GOD for giving wealth to those who squander it.

• GOD needs to be praised and that’s the end of the prayer.
• GOD needs to be exalted to GOD status in my mind, prayer and actions.
• GOD needs to be understood as the most powerful, the most glorious, the most magnificent, and the most high GOD.

GOD YOU are amazing!
