    Praise (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    When our children were barely able to talk, we started training them to say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’. At times, it felt a little self-serving when we’d hand them a drink and remind them, ‘What do you say?’We didn’t do everything right as parents, but this was one thing we did get right. Teaching them to be grateful shaped something in them.It’s been said that unexpressed gratitude is ingratitude. The same is true with God. Unexpressed praise reveals a heart that is drifting. It loses sight of wh

    More than once, I look at the walls in our house and don’t think they need repainting. But then I turn on a bright light and suddenly notice the cracks and marks that were already there. The light didn’t create them. I just couldn’t see them without a light on.The same thing happens spiritually. The psalmist made this His prayer. “The Lord is my light and my salvation. So why should I be afraid?” (Psalm 27:1)Light not only helps you see where to go. Light reveals what is hidden. That is why livi

How did you determine it?After I wake up, I wash my face, brush my teeth, drink a glass of water, do a few body movements to get it going, and then spend some time in God’s word with a cup of coffee.
