Oh what a beautiful day when we can be so grateful to God for this new, holy Creation.
Remember to thank the Father for giving you this new, holy day.
What will He expect of you this new holy day? All that you do for His Honor and His Glory.
Can you imagine how your day would go if you did all that you think, do and say for His Glory and Honor?
So do we adore in the chapel for His Great Glory and Honor? Have we ever thought of it that way before?
Do you adore for your benefit or to express to Him ALL Honor and Glory?
Do we pray to better ourselves or to ask Him to make us better by following His Will?
Not to make us healthy better, but to make our souls healthier in serving Him as He asks.
Do we proclaim His Glory even when we do not get the answer we want?
How about each time we step aside to be closer to the Lord, we praise Him and give Him glory.
Then the prayers that follow will be more significant because we have put Him First and not ourselves and our needs.
And as we move through our day continue, before any request, to give Him praise and honor.
Really our prime need is to realize that we need Him in our life, rather than any solution to anything in our life.
So our prayer is not “Oh God I am not worthy” but rather “ O God you are so worthy of all praise and honor.”
It is a whole new focus --- not me before the Lord, but the Lord is with me.
I do not come first, only our Lord is first and foremost.
So, why use any prayer time talking about me.
Why not use my prayer time honoring Him.
To honor Him for His Singular Purpose – to Love each one of us to Over Abundance.
That could take our prayer time for the rest of our lives!!! Thanking Him for His Immense, Unconditional Love.
Do I praise and thank Him for the Love He has for everyone who comes into my life?
The greatest praise you can give Me is to ache for the Grace to do My Will.
Then you will be Loving, Forgiving, Non-judgmental, Kind, Patient.
So, when you aren’t living in ‘these’ are you giving Me praise, thanks and honor?
So just saying some praise and thanks words won’t cut it.
You must live in praise and thanks by living in and out of the Love of God.
