Genesis
2:7 tells us that GOD breathed the breath of
life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person.
In Acts
17:24-25, the apostle Paul evangelizes a crowd of idolaters telling them to
worship only GOD their Creator who gives them breath and everything to live.
The Creator’s breath in your lungs is why you exist
(Acts 17:28.) But GOD went a step further and gave you the gift of eternal life
through Christ JESUS and He did it so you could praise and glorify Him (Ephesians
1:14)
Most Psalms are songs of praise to GOD. Psalmists who wrote songs of lament ended them with words of praise, and the last Psalm recorded compels GOD’s
people to praise Him: Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord!”
(Ps. 150:6)
Whatever your life situation, good, bad, or indifferent, use
the breath GOD gifted to you to praise Him! Put aside fear, sorrow, doubt,
anger and other negative emotions that the COVID-19 pandemic raises in all of
us and glorify your Creator. You will remember again who GOD truly is, that He is still and forever
in control, and you will know sweet peace.
GOD exalts His WORD and His promises as much as He does His
Holy Name, and above everything else (Psalm
138:2). So, give back to Him in praise what belongs to Him.
Heavenly Father, you are my God and I exalt you, with all my
soul I worship You. Abba Father, you are perfect in your faithfulness and I stand
in awe of all the wonderful things you do. May I never forget your goodness, to
me and loved ones. You forgive our sins in JESUS, you keep us healthy and
strong and provide all of our needs so we lack nothing; Father, forgive me my discontent.
Thank you, LORD, for lifting me up whenever I stumble and fail and for tenderly
leading me back to the path of righteousness; for being long-suffering and
patient when you have a right to be angry and desert me. GOD, I praise you!
Thank you for grace, you are better to me than I deserve, I praise You for Your
loving kindness and your mercy that follows me all the days of my life. Great
is your love, great is your faithfulness, great is your compassion, great is your mercy, great is
the grace and righteousness you bestowed upon me and mine! Great are You GOD and greatly
to be praised! With all that is in me, I praise Your Holy Name! With my last
breath, LORD, I will praise you! Always you bend down to hear when I cry for
help, I praise you! You are my GOD and I will praise You. You are my God, and I
will exalt you! All glory, dominion, power and glory belong to you, now and
forever! Amen!
