Way to Start the Day

¹³ Let them praise the name of the Lord,

    for his name alone is exalted;
    his splendor is above the earth and the heavens.
¹⁴ And he has raised up for his people a horn,^[b]
    the praise of all his faithful servants,
    of Israel, the people close to his heart.

Praise the Lord.

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

Instead of thinking of the problems of the day I decided to wake up and praise GOD for a change.  This took some doing because it seemed like many things were crashing around me. BUT GOD wanted me to think differently.

• GOD wants me to praise HIM in order to take my mind off of problems.
• GOD wants me to praise HIM in order to focus on something good.
• GOD wants me to praise HIM in order to see things from a positive light.

Praising does clear my mind. It makes me focus on good things which in turn make me delight.  I like starting my day with praise. It clears my path for today’s blessings and leaves my sins in yesterday.

• Will you wake up with praise on your lips?
• Instead of walking through the day, will you count what GOD has done for you?
• Will you give GOD praise and forget about your problems for a short time?
