Simply Praise

This blog today is a shout out to my dad.. he told a great story last night that he had heard Ahsley Conant's facebook., and I want to share it. So, I found the video. It's only like 2 min, so I hope you enjoy!


Here in America we pray to God when we need something  like a job, more of this, more of that, and we praise him when we get it. Over there, they have NOTHING, and yet they were praising God simply because of who He is. I think it would do us good to remember to praise Him just for being the Creator, for being the wonderful, loving, amazing God that He is. So today or sometime this week, I would challenge myself and you to just take a few moments, find someplace quiet, or maybe blare some worship music, and just allow yourself to be overcome with WHO He is.

Isaiah 6:3 (New International Version, ©2011)

³ And they were calling to one another:
   “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty;
   the whole earth is full of his glory.”

How Great Thou Art
O Lord my God,
When I in awesome wonder
Consider all
The works Thy Hand hath made,
I see the stars,
I hear the mighty thunder,
Thy pow'r throughout
The universe displayed;
Stanza 2:
When through the woods
And forest glades I wander
I hear the birds
Sing sweetly in the trees;
When I look down
From lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook
And feel the gentle breeze;

SHOUT IT OUT!Refrain:
Then sings my soul,
My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul,
My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
Stanza 3:
When Christ shall come,
With shouts of acclamation,
And take me home,
What joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow
In humble adoration
And there proclaim,
"My God, how great Thou art!"
