DO WE DO IT

"Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD'S name is to be praised."

Psalms 113:1-3
King James Version

Do we praise Jesus or do we complain most of the time? After all that Jesus has done for us, He deserves to have us praise Him all the time.

Fanny Crosby wrote the inspiring hymn "Praise Him! Praise Him!" If you are complaining most of the time instead of thanking Him and praising Him, you are hurting Him and breaking His heart.

"Praise him, praise him! Jesus, our blessed redeemer! Sing, O earth, his wonderful love proclaim! Hail him, hail him! Highest archangels in glory! Strength and honor give to his holy name!

Like a shepherd, Jesus will guard his children. In his arms he carries them all day long.  Praise him! Praise him! tell of his excellent greatness. Praise him! Praise him! ever in joyful song.

Praise him, praise him! Jesus, our blessed redeemer! For our sins, he suffered, and bled, and died. He our rock, our hope of eternal salvation, hail him, hail him! Jesus, the crucified.

Sound his praises, Jesus who bore our sorrows, love unbounded, wonderful, deep, and strong.  Praise him, praise him! Jesus, our blessed redeemer! Heav’nly portals loud with hosannas ring! Jesus, Savior, reigneth forever and ever! Crown him, crown him! prophet, and priest, and king!
Christ is coming, over the world victorious. Pow’r and glory unto the Lord belong. Praise him! Praise him! tell of his excellent greatness. Praise him! Praise him! ever in joyful song."

If we have been complaining more than we have been praising Jesus, we need to stop it! If ever someone deserves to be praised, it is Jesus. He is the "KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. Please join me in praising our precious Saviour.

I love You, dear Jesus, and look forward to the happy joyous day when I will have the privilege of seeing You face to face.
