"You must choose to cultivate the habit of praise."
Ruth Myers
Bet I can make you smile this morning! Wanting to write about praising God all day long, an old song from 1958, by the McGuire Sisters, came to mind.
Check it out and instead of the word "sugar" substitute "Praise Him".
Yup, praise Him in the morning, praise Him in the evening, praise Him at supper time!
Day Three by Ruth Myers
"I praise You that the Lord Jesus lived His life sinlessly, in total accord with reality, with no falseness, no self-deception, no dark secrets, nothing to regret, nothing to be ashamed of...that He proclaimed the truth, the one utterly reliable foundation for our thinking and living. Thank You that He delighted to do Your will...that He withdrew for time alone to Your presence...that He was attentive to Your voice and sensitive to Your working...that He lived in complete dependence on You, so that You in Him spoke those gracious and life-giving words and performed those mighty works.
Thank You that He demonstrated how I am to live and serve, completely dependent on Him as my indwelling Lord, focusing on His life as He walked on earth, and beholding His glory, 'the glory of the one and only' who came from You, full of grace and truth. What a delight to know that as I focus on Him. You transform me into His image by Your Spirit within me. You work in me that which is pleasing in Your eyes. You strengthen my heart in every good work and every good word, so that more and more I honor Christ by the way I live."
I delight to do Thy will, O my God, Thy law is within my heart."
Psalm 40:8
For our journaling time let's answer these questions:
What am I to learn from this time where I have drawn away with You, Father?
Where am I depending on myself or another human being, rather than You?
What is an area of my life that needs to be transformed to be more like Christ?
Funny aside...when I type journaling the computer wants to replace it with "journeying".
Journaling is journeying with Jesus!
