Praise God For No Reason

For a while I have been dwelling on this thing about praising God.

Why should I praise Him? What should I praise him for? 
For no reason or for whatever reason. He is in control of every situation "do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. ." Many have felt abandonment by whomever in their lives and have experienced a bastard-ship relationship, where they are forgotten about whether intentionally or not. But I recall the promise God has made to those who are His "I will never leave you nor forsake you." All we have to do is believe Him....lol! You can't have the promises without faith. God has proclaimed that those who trust in Him and in His Son inherit a son-ship that is better than the human expectation of son-ship. 

We need to learn how to praise God for no reason. Just because he is God. 


We should praise God for his mercy and kindness but also for his justice and discipline for we are privileged to be treated and trained as a Father trains his child. And the Bible says in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18:
16Be joyful always; 17pray continually; 18give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
We should praise him no matter the circumstance so thank him for everything and anything. 
In everything give thanks for this is the will of God concerning you.
Here is the chorus of a beautiful song written about praise:

Trees were created to grow
Wind was created to blow
April's gotta turn to May
But I was created to praise

Praising God for no reason (or for every reason) is a great lesson that I have learned lately and I hope that you would not be afraid to praise God at every moment because we were created to glorify Him.





Amen.
