Hebrews 13:15 - By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
I Chronicles 16:29 - Give unto the Lord the glory due unto His name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
* Reminder: Last week we discussed the model prayer…When Jesus started out his model prayer, he addressed God.
* We need to spend time praising God instead of going to Him with a laundry list of wants.
* Jesus said to pray in like manner when He gave The Lord’s Prayer.
Psalms 50:23 - Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will i whew the salvation of God.
* What do I have that God would want? One thing that we can give Him is our praise.
* If we don’t give Him praise, we can begin to feel that we don’t need Him and are greater than God.
* That is what happened to Satan when he was in Heaven. He thought that he was greater than God and that he wanted praise. God cast him out of Heaven.
* We should praise God in all aspects of our lives, at all times. Do people see you praising God continually or someone who is stuck on yourself?
* We were created to praise God. What are you sacrificing for the cause of Christ? An hour in prayer? 30 minutes? 15 minutes?
* The oldest and most perfect communication is prayer.
* Do you really understand spiritual sacrifice?
* It is truly giving an offering to God of our time and efforts in a way that is pleasing to Him.
* Compare Noah to the Israelites wandering in the wilderness.
* Noah was obedient, humble and reverent to God while the Israelites complained and were upset with Moses and God.
* Praise can take on many forms but they have to be based on spiritual truths and principles and presented with humility.
* Many times people get so far away from the Lord.
* The Lord will never leave us nor forsake us.
* Once you trust Christ as your Savior, He becomes your Heavenly Father and that never changes.
* However, the fellowship can be broken.
* It is our job to restore that fellowship with God when it is broken.
* We need to think about that…Are we really praising the Lord or are we running our lives and doing it our way?
* If you are a child of God, you need to get back to praising Him.
* If we have broken the fellowship, we need to say we are sorry and get that sweet fellowship back.
Psalms 9:1 - I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvelous works.
* Praise is expressing to God our thanks and appreciation for his divine nature.
* When we praise God, we help ourselves.
* It is putting into your mind and heart that right relationship that you have.
* We live our lives so concerned to please others that we compromise our convictions and morals.
* We need to be more concerned to please God and not others.
* We should not permit our feelings to be hurt or it can be a form of egotism.
* Sometimes we hear things said that are criticism and we need to hear those things.
* We need to be more concerned with is our life is more pleasing to God than more pleasing to others.
