I may get a lot of things wrong in life. I may be confused and not know who to believe. But one thing I know. God is worthy of praise. And the ability to praise and thank Him is one of His Best Gifts. In fact it is a sign of having the Holy Spirit.
In Acts 10: 45-46, "All the circumcised believers who came with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. For they were hearing them speaking with tongues and exalting God."
When Peter travels to Jerusalem to explain this unprecedented event, he says, "Therefore if God gave to them (the Gentiles) the same gift as He gave to us also after believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could stand in God's way?"
Living in the Spirit, abiding in Christ, living as a daughter of the King is beautiful. Because He is. And it rubs off.
The beautiful sound that comes from such living is praise. Gratitude for life in its details. Giving honor to the One responsible.
Lord, we want Your best gift. Fill us with Your Spirit today! May our life in the Spirit be evidenced by overflowing praise.
