Just Gotta Let It Out...
There are times when you just gotta let it out... right?
In this case, I just gotta let out some praise cuz God is sooooo gooodddd!!!
It's easy to look at David who wrote many of the Psalms and think it's "his thing", not ours.
I object!!
Every one of us has the ability to speak, write or sing praises to Jesus.
When you are in a moment of gratitude or heart overflowing with joy... or even grief and despair... rejoice!
Write your thoughts,
Sing them out,
Stomp them out,
Do something!
God wants to hear from you in any shape or form.
That's what David did in the Psalms.
He cried out to God,
Got angry,
Mourned,
Pleaded,
Negotiated,
Praised,
and Worshipped.
All of the above.
You can do it.
Today, my heart was overflowing with gratitude, excitement and joy, I just grabbed my journal and I asked "Holy Spirit, how can I praise You today?" and started writing...
"Lord I praise You!
Lord I bless You!
From the bottom of my heart I sing your praises!
You are with me in the morning,
You are with me in the evening.
You are always planning, preparing and guiding me into Your arms.
O Lord, O Lord!
How glorious are your ways.
It's like a sunshine on my face.
Like a cool breeze in my lungs.
It's a warm fuzzy blanket in the night.
You always protect and watch over me,
Letting nothing harm me,
But work for me to do Your works.
Amen."
So grab a pen and paper and ask...
"Holy Spirit, how can I praise You today?" and just let 'er rip.
It'll be great!
It's your love letter to God.
What do you think the expression on God's face will be?
Have fun!
