Bless The Lord-Wednesday Word

I will bless the Lord at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul shall make its boast in the Lord;
The humble shall hear of it and be glad.
Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
And let us exalt His name together.

-Psalm 34: 1-3

David had a roller coaster of a spiritual life. But he vowed to bless God at all times. When he was riding high; he would send praises up to the Lord. When he was lower than low; David would still recognize God for His excellent greatness. Why? Because through it all David understood that God is great and always worthy to be praised! David probably also knew that praising God does something for the soul.

When you bless the Lord your outlook on life changes. Praising God helps you remember that God loves you, what He has done for you, and all that you can do through Him. At least it should. When you send praises up to Christ your spirit is ignited by just focusing on who God is. If you are a child of God praises should always be coming from your lips. You should be exhorting others to do the same. Why? Because when God is exalted everything else just seems to be OK…
