God took these words from the pages of His Bible and really spoke them to me late the other night.
PSALM 146
Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD, I tell myself. I will praise the LORD as long as I live. I will sing praises to my God even with my dying breath. Don't put your confidence in powerful people; there is no help for you there. When their breathing stops, they return to the earth, and in a moment all their plans come to an end.
But happy are those who have the God of Israel as their helper, whose hope is in the LORD their God. He is the one who made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. He is the one who keeps every promise forever, who gives justice to the oppressed and food to the hungry. The LORD frees the prisoners. The LORD opens the eyes of the blind. The LORD lifts the burdens of those bent beneath their loads. The LORD loves the righteous. The LORD protects the foreigners among us. He cares for the orphans and widows, but he frustrates the plans of the wicked. The LORD will reign forever. O Jerusalem, your God is King in every generation! Praise the LORD!

Good post Shane!
The Holy One of Israel is indeed an Awesome God. As long as YOUR hope is in the Lord, and He continues to keep His promises to you, and to do all that He said He would do for you, then you will not be able to stop yourself from praising Him.
The more you praise and exalt Him in your life, the more you will see miracles every day of your life.
We were created to worship and walk with Him, and saved to tell others about His fame. He is healing us to be His testimony, and redeeming us for His glory.
Live a life worth imitating!
love you, Dad
