Praising Who God Is
We have been talking about the power of praise and the other day we said the Bible gives us something very specific to praise... God's name.
God has a lot of names in the Bible that describe who he is. As I was thinking about this, I had an opportunity to meet up with a friend I hadn't seen in a while. My friend told me my name had come up in a conversation he was having, and he wanted to verify that it was me, so he said you mean Daniel Foley... the fitness guy, the author, the blogger, the business owner, etc. He started listing things I have done.
When me friend told me this I started to understand why God has so many names, they help us know who he is and what to praise him for.
Here is a short list of things the Bible tells us God is(and there are a lot more)...
- Great
- Good
- Love
- Light
- God of all peace
- God of all grace
- God of all hope
- God of all comfort
- Faithful
Jesus is…
- The way
- The truth and the word made flesh
- The life
- The door, gate
Today's communion is a time of gratitude for who God and Jesus are. And we are asking for wisdom and understanding to know more of who he is and for help to praise who he is the way he intended.
Today's Health/Fitness Tip
In our health and fitness we need a balance of consistency and variety. I think the first thing to establish is consistent. Get consistent first then introduce some variety, since variety often triggers new growth and progress.
I am praying for you.
