Just me trying to be honest with God.

“We praise what we prize.” John Piper

Why does God encourage us to praise Him? I do not think for a moment that this is some vain glorious expression on His part. Love, after all is not self seeking. When God tells us to praise Him, He is inviting us to measure His value to our lives. Why would He not want us to value the best there is? The very best gift that God can can each of us is the gift of Himself. Open this gift everyday and know the wondrous value of knowing and trusting Him.
