A Prayer of Praise

In 1 Chronicles 29 we read of David’s life coming to an end. The great leader and follower of God is about to die.

In 1 Chronicles 29 we really see the heart of the "man after God’s own heart". In his final moments he decides to praise his Father for all that he has done for him and his people.

Prayer was such an important part of David’s life.

The one thing that really is evident about David’s walk with God is his prayer life. He didn’t always ask for things, stuff or forgiveness, he spent the majority of his life praising God for the blessings, praising God for being God Almighty.

The early Church was a Church that praised God in Acts 2.

The Psalms are full of prayers of praise, worship describing God as great, full of glory and splendor.

What a great example for us.

Not just in the closing moments of our life, on our deathbed but living a life each day centered on praising our Heavenly Father for the blessings he has given us.

What are you thankful for? What should you praise God for?

Family, Health, Job, Home.

How about life itself?

Being able to have a relationship with Jesus Christ because he took our sins to the cross?

I am selfish at times thinking I can make it on my own through this every day life. But then reality comes crashing down upon me. The only way I can make it in this world is to know I have a Father that knows my every need in this life but also supplies my spiritual needs as well.
