TODAY’S WORD…
.
“Seven times a day I praise You…”
.
– Psalm 119:164 (NIV)
.
.
.
REFLECTION…
.
We should not go one day without praising God.
In this verse, the number seven signifies
bringing to completion and perfection our daily praise of the Lord.
.
How much time do we spend praising God?
.
How many times a day do I praise the Lord?
Surely He is worthy of all the praise that a faithful believer can offer.
.
Today is a good day to give more time and devotion to our Creator,
and so is tomorrow
…and every day!
.
He is Lord, He is God.
If only we would never stop counting our blessings,
we would realise that He has done so much,
and that we have so much to be grateful and thankful for.
.
Our soul should not be stifled
– we should allow it to rejoice in the Lord, its Maker.
.
We should prompt our minds and hearts
to never stop seeing God’s guiding hand,
and with that we will find ourselves constantly acknowledging Him;
declaring our love for Him;
and giving Him honour, praise and thanks.

PRAYER…
.
I love You Lord
and I lift my voice
to worship You
– Oh my soul rejoice!
.
Take joy my King
in what You hear,
may it be a sweet, sweet sound
in Your ear!

YEAR OF FAITH 2012-2013
FROM THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH…
.
Praise is the form of prayer which recognises most immediately that God is God.
It lauds God for His own sake and gives Him glory, quite beyond what he does, but simply because HE IS.
.
It shares in the blessed happiness of the pure of heart
who love God in faith before seeing Him in glory.
.
By praise, the Spirit is joined to our spirits
to bear witness that we are children of God,
testifying to the only Son in whom we are adopted
and by whom we glorify the Father.
.
Praise embraces the other forms of prayer
and carries them toward Him who is its source and goal:
the "one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist." (1 Cor 8:6)
.
[CCC 2639]
