In my time with the Lord this morning I read this verse — “Praise the Lord!  Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!  His faithful love endures forever.  Who can list the glorious miracles of the Lord?  Who can ever praise Him enough?” Psalm 106:1-2 NLT

Every Sunday, we gather together and give God praise.  But is that enough?  David wrote this in Psalm 34, “I will praise the Lord at all times.  I will constantly speak His praises.” If you think about it, if you are constantly praising the Lord throughout your day, you’re not complaining and grumbling.  If I’m praising the Lord at all times, I’m not criticizing my neighbor (or my husband, my children, or myself.)

So the question the psalmist asked is, “Who can ever praise Him enough?”  Is Sunday enough?  And though the psalmist’s question is probably of a rhetorical nature, I will, nevertheless answer it.  No one can ever praise the Lord enough.  He is far too worthy.  But, know that when life get tough, when worry, disappointment or fear threatens your peace, choose to praise the Lord.   God inhabits the praises of His people.  He might not take away all your problems, but He will come to you and be your very present help in times of trouble.

I’m not sure who wrote this, but it’s worth repeating…

Someone has said that if Christians really understood the full extent of the power we have available through prayer, we might be speechless.

Did you know that during World War II, there was an advisor to Churchill who organized a group of people who dropped what they were doing every day at a prescribed hour for one minute to collectively pray for the safety of England, its people and peace?

There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in America. If you would like to participate: Every evening at 9 pm Eastern time (7 pm Mountain time), stop whatever you are doing and spend one minute praying for the safety of the United States.  Pray for our troops, our citizens, and for a return to a Godly nation.  Stop and pray.  Can you give just a minute?
