Psalms 97:12 Rejoice in the LORD, you who are righteous, and praise his holy name.

We must rejoice in Christ, our Saviour; He is the physical embodiment of God with all His power and righteousness!

Give thanks to Christ today for all He has done in the past, all He is doing right now and all He is still going to do.

It did not stop with the creation of the world. It did not stop with His birth. It did not stop with His death and resurrection.

It only just begins when He comes back to take us with Him!

Psalms 103:1 Praise the LORD, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.

What do you do when things go right for you – do you turn and praise God for what He has done?

What about when things are bad? Are you still willing to praise God for all He has done and all He can do?

We need to keep a constant view of praising God in our lives, not just when things are good, but all the time!

Psalms 30:2 LORD my God, I called to you for help, and you healed me.

When you are in trouble or are full of stress, to whom do you turn and ask for help?

The psalmist here turned to God, his Father, the author of peace – and so should we!

When we cry out for help, God is going to do something. We may not like the way He does it, and we may not even agree with what He does… but He is the one who knows what is best for each of us!

Luke 17:15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice.

What do you do when you realise God has done something for you? Do you just carry on doing what you do like the 9 leapers, or do you stand out from the crowd and do as this one leaper did?

We need to give God the glory as soon as we realise He has done something for us – not wait until we are absolutely sure it couldn’t have been anything and anyone else!

God may be using the people around you to accomplish His will in your life – acknowledge Him for all He does!
