I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. Psalm 34:1 When we praise our heavenly Father and glorify His holy name, the focus of our attention is removed from our own anxiety, limited life and petty predicaments. It gives balance to all we say and do. God Himself knows the immense benefits that we enjoy, when we turn our eyes away from ourselves onto the Lord Jesus, and look full into His wonderful face – which is why Paul reminds us, in first Thessalonians, to rejoice evermore. When we turn the attention of our inner heart onto Christ – the Author and Finisher of our faith; the Sustainer of our life and our Blessed Hope, circumstances of life and matters of living, fall into their correct perspective. When the inner focus of our heart and soul, and mind is on the Lord Jesus, there is no room for a self-centered attitude of mind, or the petty preening of our own individual wants. Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word and the truths it contains. I pray that like David I would bless You at all times and in all circumstances. I pray that I may develop an attitude of grateful thanks and worshipful praise, in every area of my life – no matter how mundane the task may be. I will let go of my own anxiety and I pray that in all things and at all times I would seek to glorify You – in Jesus name, AMEN. KJV Bible
