DAD'S RAMBLINGS – PRAISE LIVING
"Seven times a day I praise Thee because of Righteous ordinances." (Psalm 119:164)
The Psalmist had established a lifestyle of praise. He had a pattern that prompted him to lift his heart in adoration to the Lord God seven times a day – when he got up in the morning, at breakfast, during his mid-morning break, at lunch, at his afternoon break, at supper, when he went to bed. This sounds like a good plan.
Or maybe there is a better plan: How about praising God all day long? Call it "Praise Living." "From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised" (Psalm 113:3). "I will bless the LORD at all time, His praise shall continually be in my mouth" (Psalm 34:1).
We do have a lot to praise and thank the Lord for. It is not always easy to live a life of praise, especially when things go wrong. Or we get so wrapped up in living that we neglect praise to our God. But praise-living is the best way to live – living with an attitude of praise.
Love, Dad
