More and More

As for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more. ‪Psalm 71‬:14‬‬‬‬

How often do you tell the Lord your praises throughout the day? Worship is a moment-by-moment response, not a one-day-out-of-the-week.

In Psalm 71, we see the Psalmist pouring out his praise continually before God. He says “more and more.” Why? Because God’s never-ending hope deserves praise that is never-ending.

We live as sacrifices to God in the light of His hope. This is the same Hope that is the Returning of our Great Savior. Even as we live among a hopeless world, in which we experience chaos, hurt, and destruction, we proclaim the mercies of God to share His hope. This kind of perseverance is fueled by our faith and expectation of Christ, which results in giving Him thanks.

Do you find yourself praising God more and more on the basis of His continual love? As we are assured of His victory, we take advantage of His free gift of everlasting righteousness and power to live.

Prayer for the day:

Almighty Father, while we speak of Your hope, and sing Your praises, help us to rise above our fears and sickness, and possess Your greatest visions of the joys in heaven. May the work of Your Redemption be upon our lips as we sing Your praise. Thank You for sending the Lamb who was slain to redeem us. You are worthy of all blessing and praise, now to You, the One True God forever and ever. - Amen.
