Bless the Lord

Scripture Psalms 134:2 Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, And bless the LORD.

Observation: Every day I ask God for blessings, but when was the last time I blessed the Lord. Normally we don’t think of blessing God because we are too busy asking for our own blessings. What a privilege we have that we can bless God by praising Him, obeying His commands, treating each other with the love He calls us to give and telling others about how wonderful our Lord is. If I could only bless Him half as much as He blesses me that would really be something.

Application: I need to try to bless God as much as He blesses me. It might be an impossible task, but I need to try. I need to live a life that blesses Him and each day look for opportunities to please Him.

Prayer: My Lord I thank you for all of the blessings you give me each day. Help me now learn to bless you through praise and worship. May a day not go by that I don’t bless you in something I do or say. I love you and I want to be a blessing in this life.
