I’m doing something new this October: posting everyday!!!
The Nester is hosting a challenge for 31 days. Simply pick any topic and blog about it each day. There is an option to link up on her blog.
Weeks ago, I was brainstorming about my writing and post ideas. One idea that stuck was to take the word “p-r-a-i-s-e” and break it down, by letter. Six letters, five words each = thirty words. Then I tucked it on the back burner, saving it for a special occasion.
I guess today is special, because I’m pulling it out and charging ahead. There’s a lot of pleading in my life and countless thankful moments. Yet, I don’t spend time praising God as much as I need to and should be doing.
A few weeks ago, during my devotional time, I was hit with a startling lesson from the Bible. Many of the request-type prayers (asking for help, healing, answers) in the Word, are quiet brief. One or two lines.
However, the prayers of praise? They are much longer. Sometimes a paragraph, sometimes even an entire chapter.
Since the God described in the Word is the same God of today and tomorrow, then He’s more than deserving of my words of praise.
In honour of the 31 Days, I’ve created a blog button. Click below to grab the code.
