Praise: Day 3

Devotion by: Andrea Sweet

Romans 15:7-11

Welcome one another, therefore, just as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God. For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the circumcised on behalf of the truth of God in order that he might confirm the promises given to the patriarchs, and in order that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written,
‘Therefore I will confess you among the Gentiles,

and sing praises to your name’;
and again he says,
‘Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people’;
and again,
‘Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles,
and let all the peoples praise him’;.

In this passage it says “Rejoice, people”. We should rejoice to the Lord. For He gave us everything; houses, animals, trees and even our lives, for Pete’s sake! At night I praise Him for He made my house and I feel safe and warm and comfortable. I mean, come on people, just look at what he gave us. Whoa! He lives and that’s for sure! Sometimes though, I’m mad at him because I don’t get my own way, but no matter what condition I’m in, I should praise God.

PRAYER: Lord, please let us remember that you made us and you are God, we should praise you all the time, no matter what!
