Praising God At All Times
All of us at one time or another had not been closely acquainted with the Lord as we should be. We may not be sure of what the appropriate response to our omnipotent God should be. Whatever spiritual level we are in our journey with Him, we are encouraged to continue to praise Him like the psalmist in Psalm 112. Obviously, God does not need our praises for even our praises are from Him. Yet with gratitude in our heart, we praise Him because He is a caring, merciful God who is not only transcendent but eminent in our life. God has humbled Himself to be active in our life, meeting the needs of us who are wretched and desperate. He uplifts the sufferings of humanity to positions of honour.
As unworthy and undeserving as we are, the Lord has called each one of us for a mission and purpose in life. As we pray this psalm, let us have hope and in faith pray that our God of Peace may make us ready to do His will through any kind of good actions. Let us then open our hearts and our minds to Him so that we can be transformed and moulded for whatever purposes acceptable to Him for our mission. With this in mind let us praise God.
