Look Up Not Down

 

     Jesus turns the world upside down. He turns us upside down, shakes a few things loose, sets us back up, and after the dizziness subsides, we look around and nothing is the same. This week allow God to show you a new perspective, a topsy-turvy, inside-out and upside-down beginning. Let’s begin with praise.

     Praise to begin and end your day:

They were also to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord. They were to do the same in the evening. 2 Chronicles 23:30

     Praise for all He has created:

All the earth bows down to You. They sing praise to You, they sing the praises of Your name. Psalm 66:4

     Praise with hope:

As for me, I will always have hope. I will praise You more and more.  Psalm 71:14

     Praise to the next generation:

Then we Your people, the sheep of Your pasture, will praise You forever from generation to generation we will proclaim Your praise.  Psalm 79:13

     Praise for His love:

Praise the Lord. Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good and His love endures forever.  Psalm 106:1

     Praise for His word:

May my lips overflow with praise, for You teach me Your decrees. Psalm 119:171

     Praise for your life:

I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful. I know that full well. Psalm 139:14

     Praise for who He is:

Praise him for His acts of power, praise Him for His surpassing greatness. Psalm 150:2

Dear Father in Heaven,

We thank you for the gift of praise. Turn our lives around to seek You above all else whatever the circumstances.

In Jesus Name,

Amen
