God is our praise! The God who parted the Red Sea and supplied manna to the Israelites in the wilderness is also the God who did the most amazing miracles for us and in us - he has turned our selfish hearts to do his will, turned our lives to do his eternal work in the world, and tuned us through the Holy Spirit's work to become more like Jesus! After doing all those things in us and for us, God has gifted and empowered us to do those things he has placed in our hearts to do. He is our praise, and he is worthy of that praise. He is the One we worship even as he is the One who makes us worthy worshipers!
My Prayer...
You are worthy, Abba Father, of all glory, honor, and praise. You have done great and mighty works throughout the history of your people, Israel - most of whom were everyday people you used mightily. Thank you for using us to do your work in our world, today. We praise you, dear Father, for using everyday folks like us to do your eternal work. In the name of Jesus, our King, I pray. Amen.
