“He that offers praise as a sacrifice glorifies me” Psalm 50:23
“Praise the LORD, my soul! I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God while I live.” Psalm 146:1-2
What better way to look at a Monday and start a week than by praising our God?
The greatest gift and the only one of any value to God is our heart. He doesn’t want us to give ourselves in part or “this for that.” God is looking for us to surrender all of who and what we have to Him. He wants all our possessions, all our gifts and even all our failings. With full surrender, surrendering all, God can take the failings and turn them to His glory. He already owns all our possessions, He gave them in the first place just like our gifts and talents. He wants us to see that, for when we see all is His, it is easy to give the one thing we ‘own’ to Him. Our heart.
All to Jesus I surrender,
Humbly at his feet I bow,
Worldly pleasures all forsaken,
Take me, Jesus, take me now.
All to Jesus I surrender
I surrender all.
““Let all on earth worship and sing praise to you, sing praise to your name!” Psalm 67:4
