Praise the Lord!

It is time to Praise the Lord!It's not time to ask or petition but to give thanks and Praise God for who He is.When we petition, we are asking God to do things for us but that is not what He is calling for. Right now He desires hearts that are full of gratitude and that Praise Him for who He is.He delights not in the strength of the horse, nor does He take pleasure in the legs of a man.The Lord takes pleasure in those who reverently and worshipfully fear Him, in those who hope in His mercy and loving-kindness. Psalm 147:11He determines the number of stars and calls them each by nameHe is great and mighty in power; His understanding has no limitHe covers the sky with the cloudsHe supplies the earth with rainHe makes grass grow on the hillsHe provides food for the animalsHe spreads snow like woolHe hurls down His hail like pebblesHe sends His command to the earth; His word runs swiftlyHe grants peace to your borders and satisfies you with the finest of wheat"He captures your life, your entire life, in one glance. He sees your birth and burial in one frame. He knows your beginning and your end, because He has neither". Isn't that Awesome?!, I read that in a book by Max Lucado maxlucado , I couldn't put it better.I was just thinking, you know how these days it's all about "who you know, and who knows you"?, well quite honestly I know not of any one who can do even an eighth of one of the things mentioned about God. I'm definitely privileged to be known by God and that in itself causes me to praise Him.
