Praising God

Romans 11: 33-36
33 Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and[a] knowledge of God!
    How unsearchable his judgments,
    and his paths beyond tracing out!
34 “Who has known the mind of the Lord?
    Or who has been his counselor?”[b]
35 “Who has ever given to God,
    that God should repay them?”[c]
36 For from him and through him and for him are all things.
    To him be the glory forever! Amen.

Time spent glorifying and praising God frees us to see our daily life activities with the correct perspective.  When our faith is weak, or if our view of God is small, our problems seem enormous.  But when we take the time to count our blessings and thank God for His gifts, life's hardships seem less difficult.  Praising God, appreciating His power and omniscience, enables us to view our circumstances with the proper perspective.  We are better able to see life's events as they truly are: part of God's plan for our life journey, each trial helping us to develop patience and mature in our faith. 

The more time I spend praising God and reading Psalms as I glorify Him, the more I see His grace and His blessings in my life. 

Romans 15:13
13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
