Lord, You have made us – to praise You. You call us to live for Your
glory. Praise to God, glory to God – Where does this come from? We look
into our hearts – and it is not there. We look at our lives – and we
say, “Where is this praise to God?, Where is this glory to God?” Lord,
we can only praise You when You give to us the song of praise. You alone
can fill our hearts with praise to You. You alone can fill our lives
with Your glory. Without You, Lord, our life is a spiritual wasteland.
Come, O Lord, to this spiritual wasteland. Come – and make our life a
song of praise to You. Come – and make our life a hymn that says, “Glory
to God.”
Lord, help us never to think, “We are blessed because we are obedient.” Help us always to say, “We are blessed because You love us and Jesus died for us.” Your love for us, Jesus’ death for us: This is where the blessing comes from – and it’s where our obedience comes from! We think of Your great love for us. We think of Jesus, crucified for us. We say, “Lord, You love me. Help me to love You.” We say, “Jesus, You died for me. Help me to live for You.” This is how Your blessing comes to us – You show us how much You love us, You put Your love into our hearts, the obedience grows stronger – and so does the blessing!
