Devotional Reflection

LoveJoyGratitudeHopeCompassionAwe

Not only should our praise make God happy, but it should also make the poor happy and joyful on the streets. Why? Because praise gives us a chance to not only thank God for what He does, but also to help Him do it. God's generosity, which makes us praise Him, should make us more generous, which blesses other people and makes them praise God.

Prayer

Holy God, all-powerful and mighty King, You deserve all praise and honor. You have done great and wonderful things. You have poured out Your blessings upon me. You have kept Your word and shown me the way to be saved. Please give me the power and strength I need to bless, serve, and encourage other people for Your glory. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
