God Awareness

Psalm 119:164 - "Seven times a day I praise you for your righteous laws."

One of the things that I love about David is that he walked through his life with a God awareness. He knew that he couldn't make it through his day without God. And, he knew that God wanted his praise. How do you praise God as you walk through your day?

I know some people who praise God by contiually praying throughout the day. When they drive, they turn off the radio and pray. When they walk, they pray. When they hear about somebody going through a tough time, they pray.

I know other people who praise God with song. When they drive, they turn the radio up and sing. When they walk, they sing. When they write, they write lyrics to songs and then sing those songs with hearts of praise.

I know some people who praise God with art. When they drive, they look at what God has created and dream about what that will look like on the canvas . When they walk, they walk with notebook in hand, ready to stop at a moments notice to sketch what it is that God has created. When they hear about someone going through a tough time, they create a drama that tells the person's story yet gives hope of God's work in the person's life.

I know some people who praise God by using their spiritual gifts to honor Him. They are always looking for how they can exercise the gift to be a blessing in someone else's life and to draw the person closer to the Kingdom of Heaven.

As you go through your day today, be aware. God is near. Praise Him, throughout your day! He is good, and His love endures forever.

Dear God,

We praise You because You were not made, but have always existed. You are the creator and sustainer of life. You are our all in all. You are our strength and our shiled. You are our ever present hope. We love You. Thank You for loving us.

In Jesus' name,

Amen.
