TODAY’S WORD…
.
“Seven times a day I praise You…”
.
– Psalm 119:164 (NIV)

REFLECTION…
.
If I believe in God
and in His great love for me
and if I trust fully in Him
and He is everything to me,
then surely I should praise Him seven times a day, at least;
surely I should praise Him all day long
through my words, my deeds and even my thoughts!
.
Who else deserves my continuous praise if not my God?
Is there anyone or anything in my life that deserves such praise?
.
Am I constant in praising my God?
Am I consistent in declaring His greatness
and in declaring and demonstrating my love for Him?
.
Praising God constantly
is not only about
raising my mind and heart to Him throughout my day, whatever the circumstances,
but it is also about
living in a way that reflects my love for Him:
caring for others,
being just,
using my talents to do good for others,
helping the poor…
All these are valid ways by which I can praise God ceaselessly.
.
Perhaps I need to change my busy schedule
and rearrange my diary
to fit in some appointments with the Lord, my God, my All!
.
Perhaps?

REPETITIVE PRAYER FOR TODAY…
.
My Lord, my God, my All,
let my love for You be more, much more, than mere words.
Lord, I want to love You and praise You with all my mind, my heart, my soul and my strength. Amen.
