Praise!

"Let the name of the Lord be praised, both now and forevermore.  From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised."

As you sit watching the sun rise, let your heart be filled with praise for Me. This is your natural response to the beauty you find when you turn your eyes to Me. My beauty and My Goodness cause praise to rise in your soul.  Speak it out, declare it, sing with joy of your love for Me!

While praise is a natural response to reflecting on who I am, it is so much more than this.  It is a fact that praise is due Me - always and forever.  It is written into the laws of the universe - My name MUST be praised. It is written into the very structure of My creation. So when you choose to praise Me, you are standing in agreement with Heaven and all of earth's creation.

The ruler of this world would have you believe that it is unnatural for you to praise Me, especially when facing difficult circumstances.  He would have you blame Me instead. But he is the father of lies and there is no Truth in him. 

As you face this day, choose to do the most truly natural thing in the world, and PRAISE ME with your whole heart!
