The scripture for today, July 12 (7/12) is Revelation 7:12 in the New Testament of the Bible:
“Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!”
How often do we praise God? Praise is more than thanking Him. Praise refers to God’s attributes. Let’s see what these words mean in the original Greek language of the New Testament:
Glory: magnificantly beautiful
Wisdom: great understanding
Thanks: bestowed favour
Honor: great weight and power
God deserves all this from us. Some people think God is ugly, He doesn’t understand them, He is against them, and is for weaklings. Some even hate God and are repulsed at the idea of worshiping him. They just don’t know God.
Today, will you help someone know God?
Amen! The Lord deserves so much more than we give Him. We should praise him with song, words, and a pure heart.
We do not praise Him enough.
