Praise God

We hear that phrase often enough. But do we heed the imperative?

We should praise God at all times. Praise Him in the morning, the evening, and just around suppertime, right?

Do we praise God when we feel low? When we've been wronged, or when we've done wrong? Or do we only praise God when good comes our way or we feel on top of our game? God should be praised no matter what else is going on in your life.

40DFL provides numerous opportunities for me to sit back and marvel anew at the glories God has gained for us.

The efforts put forth by such a multitude of people cause me to marvel.

The peace I feel in prayer causes me to marvel.

The kindness of strangers causes me to marvel.

God is so dear, so precious, like a child. That's how God came into the world: as a little miracle of cellular activity, forming the tiniest peep of a heart.

Did you know that God's heart was once the size of a single grain of sand, pulsing with a love greater than all the encompassed universe?

Isn't that marvelous?

I look forward to fasting with all of you. I look forward to praising God with all of you. I look forward to all the marvels that God has in store for us.
