I Want to Praise Him!

Do you ever just feel an overwhelming urge to praise God? I hope so! All Christians know it is something that we should do, but how often do we feel like it? I'll admit that I don't always feel like it. But my favorite moments are when I'm alone with God and there are no distractions and I have an unusually great awareness of his presence. I get that often when I go for walks. I enjoy the solitude; just enjoying a quiet time with the Lord and his creation. It's at these moments that I often praise Him, worship Him, and adore Him, not only for what He has done, but who He is. God is awesome and deserves more praise and thanks than we could ever muster in this life. It's never totally adequate, considering His greatness and holiness, but it is a wonderful thing to even be able to give Him praise. The only way anyone can do it "in spirit and in truth" is a result of His grace and mercy that he gives when we surrender to Him and invite Him into our heart. He changes us and helps us see His purposes and sets us on the path to eternal life. Thank you, Lord
