How Much is Enough?

May 15th, 2010

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.
