Cause To Praise

For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son. –Romans 5:10

Have we ever really thought about this? While we were separated from God by our sin, He was in the process of reconciling us to Himself through the torture and death of His perfect, Holy Son. He poured out His wrath on Christ Jesus for us. Does that not chill us to the bone? I still stand in amazement at His love. It never grows old.

I sing daily with David a song of praise. How can my lips not sing His praises everyday of my life spent here on earth, and ever more so in eternity.

1 Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth! 2 Worship the Lord with gladness. Come before him, singing with joy. 3 Acknowledge that the Lord is God! He made us, and we are his. We are his people, the sheep of his pasture. 4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name. 5 For the Lord is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and his faithfulness continues to each generation. -Psalm 100

  1. I love this post, Ken. I agree with you, the source of praise is a deepfelt thankfulness that comes from a humble and contrite heart that realizes Who God really is and what He has really done. Amen, brother
