Psalm 34 Verses 1-4

1 I will extol the Lord at all times;
    his praise will always be on my lips.
² I will glory in the Lord;
    let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
³ Glorify the Lord with me;
    let us exalt his name together.

Blessing God is not something that we remember to do that often. We do bless and praise him in church…the Gloria is a song of praise to God. I wonder if we remember that when we are saying or singing the Gloria. Most of us are uncomfortable if someone lifts up their hands in the service and yet this is also lifting praise to God. There is something about involving our bodies that engages our minds on a different level. We should all try it.

Prayer: Gracious Lord, you are worthy to be praised with glad voices. We bless and praise your name. We are grateful for your love and compassion.. Be with us each day of our lives. AMEN

Homework: Since most of us are worried about what people think… when you are praying alone life up your arms to God. See how it feels.
