Giving Him the highest praise

Friends

This morning as I made my way into work, I reflected on the exciting things happening in my life. My natural response was to burst into exuberant thanksgiving to God for all that He has done in my life and that of my family. It felt strange, but although I was driving I could feel myself stretching, like someone standing on his toes, to give God the highest praise.

I know, we often use these words so easily. We say that we want to give God the highest praise. It's however easier said than done. We live in a society where we mourn the loss of celebrities and people alike, we have often never had the privilege of meeting. We buy their music and listen to it as we celebrate the memory of the great things they have achieved. Yet, we are a society who often forget that irrespective of our academic success or corporate status, we are so dependant on the One who sustains the very nature of our being.

Today I stretch myself, I stretch myself to stand on my toes and bring honour to our Father. I acknowledge that in Him and through Him all things living exist by His grace alone. I stretch myself as I reflect on how blessed and healthy and prosperous my family is. Just hearing the laughter of my children and seeing the gentle grin on my wife's face certainly gives me enough reason to stand in my heart and to stretch myself in honour of the One who is my everything.

The Lord bless you.

Simply His servant
