always praising

"Oh, Lord, you alone are my hope. 

I've trusted you, Oh Lord, from childhood.

Yes, you have been with me from birth;

from my mother's womb you have cared for me.

No wonder I am always praising you!"

-Psalm 71: 5,6

I don't really have much to say about this except that as I was reading this morning I noticed the sentence: "no wonder I am always praising you!"  There should be no wonder, it should be such an obvious part of our life--to always be praising the Lord that is our only hope and has been with us from birth.  Life is busy and I think that sometimes our constant praise is lost, but think for a moment about a day like yesterday. Yesterday is a day devoted to celebrating Jesus' resurrection and His life.  There is so much Joy involved and I don't know about you, but I feel like everyday can be that joyful because that truth is true EVERYDAY not just Easter!

I want to live a life that is always praising God! God is my only hope, God is my strength, God is the life-giver, God is my provider, God is my rock, God is faithful, God is just, God is Love. He has done so much in my life even in the past year and His plans are greater than anything I can imagine. I should say: "no wonder I'm always praising You!"
