Psalm 103
Bless the Lord all my soul and all that is within me bless his Holy name.
If I'm honest I have to admit that there are times when I am not in the mood to praise God. Right now I find myself pretty angry because of something political I just learned about. I would rather sit down and blast apart the arguments of people who would uphold "it" as being the right thing to do. The are so conflicted with tunnel vision that they miss the forest for the trees, are perhaps more on point, they miss the people for the flag. I want to rage, but raging will not solve the problem, it is not a problem that I can solve, and even if it was raging wouldn't bring about the solution. The thing is praising God won't bring about the solution either, but it does have the potential to redirect my focus from the temporary to the eternal. Praising God can redirect my emotional state from anger to submission. And, if praising God can do that then perhaps it is often time to praise God.
+ What does praising God accomplish in your life?
