Praise In the Presence of GodSample
Reach for It!
The psalmist speaks of God’s loving kindness being “better than life” in the same breath as his statement about worshiping with uplifted hands. It’s not that he doesn’t appreciate his temporal life, but in worship he reaches for more of God’s dimension of life.
Let us remember that the “gift of eternal life” promised the believer is not just life unending, it is also unlimited. It is life that is eternal in quantity but also eternal in quality since God infuses us with the traits of His loving kindness. That’s worth reaching for!

About this Plan
Pastor Jack Hayford points the way to the life-changing pathway of praise. No matter how you feel, praise will shape what your experiences will become. When doubts come, praise God that His Word will never fail you. When fears taunt, praise God that His presence never leaves you. When questions arise, praise God that His wisdom holds every answer. Praise leads you to the One who assures peace beyond strife, hope beyond trial, joy beyond sorrow, and life beyond all.
