Praise is a choice

Wondering how you ended up where you are? Feeling as if time is the enemy? Curious if you can ever change or make a difference in other peoples lives as you go through the muck yourself? The answer is simple....Praise the Lord.....that's it....Praise the Lord....It says this over and over in the Psalms...for believers. This action, this choice, this decision, is yours alone. He is waiting for you to make the choice, so He can change your perspective, renew your mind, and show you the big picture. How simple is it to Praise the Lord? Simple...just tell Him how cool He is, How awesome He is to have choosen to give His son for you....How His grace is enough, how His mercy is never ending and how His faithfulness never stops flowing....then stop talking....listen and ponder His character and wait....Wait to see how your life begins to have hope, peace, joy and love....and yes...even in the muck. Pigs are happy in the muck! So how much more can we be with a God that loves us more than the pigs! God allows us into the muck in hopes that we will choose to Praise Him no matter how thick or deep it gets. The muck may change, but God never does. In fact, when we see Him from the muck, how much sweeter His grace and mercy become....So let's do it...Praise the Lord...for the muck and all.....PTL....
