Offerings of Praise

As I reflected on Psalm 99 this week, it occurred to me that I need to spend more time recalling the things that the Lord has done, as well as the many aspects of His name. As Psalm 99:1-3 says, "The Lord reigns, let the nations tremble; He sits enthroned between the cherubim, let the earth shake. Great is the Lord in Zion; He is exalted over all the nations. Let them praise Your great and awesome name!" So today, here are my offerings of praise:

I praise You Lord...

Because You reign far above all other gods...
Because Your plans will stand forever...
Because You are close to the broken-hearted and You save those who are crushed in spirit...
Because You redeemed my life from the pit and put a song of praise in my mouth...
Because You will supply all of my needs according to Your riches in Christ Jesus...
Because You have compassion on me...
Because You will never leave me, nor forsake me...
Because Your love never fails...
Because all things work together for good for those who love You, who are called according to Your purpose...
Because You are near to all who call on You in truth...
Because You have given me everything I need pertaining to life and godliness...
Because You do immeasurably more than I could ask or imagine...
Because You are faithful to Your promises...
Because You are worthy of my praise!

Lord I praise Your name today:

Because You are the Holy and Anointed One, the Beginning and the End...
Because You are my Deliverer, Healer and Provider...
Because You are my Strength, my Rock, My Fortress...
Because You are My Redeemer and Restorer...
Because You are my Light and my Salvation...
Because You are my Shield and My Defender, the Ancient of Days...
Because You are the Great I AM, the Living God...
Because You are the name that is above every other name!

"Great is the Lord and worthy to be praise...Ascribe to the Lord, O families of nations, Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength...Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name! (Psalm 95:4,7)
