Your praise to the Lord says a lot about how much you value Him.
Psalm 106:1 Praise ye the Lord, O give thanks unto the Lord: for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
We need the mercy of God because we aren't perfect. Praise God for mercy! We praise Him because He's good all the time.
God is good in the light and dark -- on the mountain and in the valley -- in peace and in turmoil -- in life and death -- rejoicing and weeping -- good health and sickness. God is good to the saved and the lost. Those who are His have special reasons for praising His name.
If we fail to praise God, we are closing our eyes to the signs of His presence, forgetting His mercies and kindness.
Cultivate the spirit and habit of praise. Give God the honor and glory and gratitude we owe Him. God is good.
