The Highest Praise
This morning, I found myself singing “The Highest Praise,” a song sung by Doug Oldham in 1979. The last line of the chorus says “The highest praise I can give today is to live my life for You.”
It’s easy to tell God how much we love Him but are we faithful to show Him? Are we truly willing to lay down our lives and serve Him however He desires? It seems like often we’re making deals with God. “God, I’ll do _____ if you ____.” Do you ever think about the fact that if God never did another thing for you, you still owe Him your life?
Psalm 150:6 tells us, “Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.” Are we obeying that command in every area of our lives? I used to wonder why praise is sometimes referred to as a sacrifice. There must be more to it than mere words.
