“I will praise the Lord according to His righteousness:
and will sing praise to the Name of the Lord most high.”
(Psalm 7:17)
“Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised . . .”
(Psalm 48:1)
“According to Thy Name, O God, so is Thy praise
unto the ends of the earth:”
(Psalm 48:10)
The basis of our praise: according to His righteousness, according to His greatness, according to His Name. It is not “according to my circumstances.” Why then do I praise Him so little?

\”It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.\” -Lamentations 3:22-25\”Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.\” – 1 John 4:10Thank you very much for sharing, Amanda! :)Love you!-Patience

Sometimes, you just get a word stuck in your mind. The word recently, has been \”Faithful\” — God is so faithful, as Lamentations 3:22-25 express so truly!Both of the verses that you shared with me are some of my favorites (yes, I guess I do have a long list . . .) and are ones that God has allowed me to memorize!Thanks for sharing!~Amanda\”But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.\” Matthew 6:33
