Psalm 29 & 30
Many Psalms give praises to God. These Psalms of praise are models for our prayer. When we give praise to God it gives shape to our understanding of the world. The praise reminds us that God is the creator and we are the creation. Life goes better when we remember the order of creation.
Praise also focuses our attention on what is good and beautiful in life. Paul writes in Philippians 4:8 "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." Something very good happens in our lives when we think on these things worthy of praise.
I leave for Kenya tomorrow. Jenni will be writing the devotional blog while I am gone.
