Begin with Praise

 

“Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power…”

—1 Chronicles 29:11a

One of the helpful aspects of life on earth for a believer is the opportunity to learn critically important lessons. For example, in dealing with the trials of life, we learn to become fully and unreservedly dependent on God.

If we pay very close attention, we can learn many significant and important lessons that will prove useful for all eternity. Among them is to start our day with words of praise for God.

Notice these words of praise found in 1 Chronicles 29:11:

Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.

These words are part of a prayer that King David prayed. He exalts God and speaks words of eternal truth about the majesty and glory of the Lord.

No matter what trials we may face this day, let us learn from David and start our day praising God. He will surely see us through our trial and bring us into His eternal glory.
