Sing Praise

^{Psalm 104
33} I will sing to the Lord as long as I live.
I will praise my God to my last breath!
³⁴ May all my thoughts be pleasing to him,
for I rejoice in the Lord

What a declaration. I will sing, I will praise. As Christians this should be our lifestyle. I don't understand why worship is viewed as something we do instead of something we are. As I was teaching the teenagers at church a couple of weeks ago we talked about worship being a lifestyle and not just something we endure at church.

Many times we view worship as previews instead of making them the main attraction. When we make worship the main attraction we open ourselves up to where we anticipate something amazing, something great, something that will stay with us throughout the next week, month, etc.

I want to sing as long as I live, I want to praise until my last breath. God has done more for me than I am deserving of and I could never thank Him enough. Beyond that I want to connect with Him.

This is not the first time David mentions thoughts either. That makes me think it was something of importance to him because of the things he had been through and come through. I too want my thoughts to be pleasing in His sight. i want every aspect of my life, my thoughts, my meditations, everything to be pleasing to Him.

My prayer is that I would live a lifestyle of worship and not just participate a couple times a week. I pray that not a day goes by that I don't sing praise to Him for His mercy and grace. I pray that every aspect of my life would be pleasing to Him, so that I too can have Him say of me; "This is my son in whom I am well pleased..."
