Praising God Today and Every Day!

On the way in to work today, I was listening to the Fish 95.9 (local Christian radio station).  I could do without all the talking and do more with the music!
 
I heard the song, "Revelation Song" by Phillips, Craig & Dean.
Here are the words for your edification:
 
Worthy is the,
Lamb who was slain
Holy, Holy, is He
Sing a new song, to Him who sits on
Heaven's Mercy Seat
[Repeat 2x]

(Chorus)
Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come
With all creation I sing:
Praise to the King of Kings!
You are my everything,
And I will adore You…!
Yeah!

Clothed in rainbows, of living color
Flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder
Blessing and honor, strength and
Glory and power be
To You the Only Wise King,
Yeah

(Chorus)
Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come, yeah
With all creation I sing:
Praise to the King of Kings!
You are my everything,
And – I - will - adore You!
Yeah!

Filled with wonder,
Awestruck wonder
At the mention of Your Name
Jesus, Your Name is Power
Breath, and Living Water
Such a marvelous mystery
Yeah...

(Chorus)
Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come, yeah
With all creation I sing:
Praise to the King of Kings!
You are my everything,
And – I - will - adore You!

Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come,
With all creation I sing:
Praise to the King of Kings!
You are my everything,
And – I - will - adore YOU…

(Chorus) (Repeat at a cappella)

Come up lift up His Name
To the King of Kings…
We will adore YOU Lord…
King of heaven and earth
King Jesus, King Jesus
Aleluya, aleluya, aleluya!
Majesty, awestruck Honor
And Power and Strength and Dominion
To You Lord,
To the King, to King
To the King of Glory
 
I caught the song halfway through, but it sent a thrill of excitement through my body and spirit!  So I started praising God and thanking Him for all He has done.  It is kind of hard to praise God without thanking Him!  Try it!
 
As wonderful as this song is, the thought struck me it is nothing compared to when we are in eternity praising God as a heavenly choir!  However, today's PW devotional reminds me God enjoys the praises from His children.
 
Praise God throughout your day today!  Look for things, people and events to be thankful for!  Dwell upon the fact that everything you have is by the hand of God. 
Even your next breath,
and the next one,
and the one after that.
 
Let's join an earthly choir of praise to our God and King of kings!

All About Him: Everyday and Forever

"I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever and ever. Every day I will praise you and extol your name for ever and ever." (Psalm 145:1-2)

Human beings are praise machines. We're built to cheer. It's in our DNA. That doesn't mean we always want to do it, but we've got the code for it. Put 20 or so of us in a room where someone is performing or competing or even just telling good jokes, and we're very like to hoot and clap and holler and buy the poster.

Our God is the perfect praise-receiving machine. Okay, He's not a machine, but there is no more natural target for praise in the universe than Him. And we're told He actually responds when His kids praise Him with real hearts.

It only makes sense that we should get together, especially since that's what He built us to do and because something in us wakes up and feels truthful when we are in the act of praising Him. Everybody wins.

We're going to praise Him right along with the songwriter king of Israel this whole week to find out more about why He deserves our praise -- and why we're missing out if we don't make our lives all about Him.

Think: Does praising God feel to you like a duty or something you look forward to? How hard is it to think of real reasons to praise Him? How often do you praise Him to someone else without singing?

Pray: Ask God to help you to praise Him as He deserves. Thank Him that as a Christian, you will praise His name for ever and ever.

Do: If you want to get a jump start on the week, read all the way through Psalm 145.
