Praise God Seven Times a Day?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who praise you seven times a day. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Will you make it a habit to look for things for which to praise God? The psalmist claims to praise God seven times a day. Would you be willing to do the same? How about more often? If you do not already, set some time aside each morning or evening and praise God from whom all blessings flow.
Psalm 119:161-168 (ESV) includes the idea of rejoicing at God’s word and praise.
“Princes persecute me without cause,
but my heart stands in awe of your words.
I rejoice at your word
like one who finds great spoil.
I hate and abhor falsehood,
but I love your law.
Seven times a day I praise you
for your righteous rules.
Great peace have those who love your law;
nothing can make them stumble.
I hope for your salvation, O Lord,
and I do your commandments.
My soul keeps your testimonies;
I love them exceedingly.
I keep your precepts and testimonies,
for all my ways are before you.”
While you are praising God, will you please praise him for his holy and inspired word?
