“Praising the Lord” seems to be a constant theme in the Scriptures. It is a humbling yet, wonderful thought to think that the Creator of the universe desires this fellowship from sinful man. But that is what He desires from us. So are you praising Him in your life? One thing is for sure, if we have sin in our life that we have not repented of our worship of the Lord will be tainted. So many today feel like there is a roadblock between them and God. The truth is a lot of the time there is a roadblock. We allow stuff to get in between us and Him. So what do we need to do? We need to humble ourselves, confess our sins and pray for spiritual cleansing. I know that it is sometimes hard to admit that we have failed, and even hindered our relationship with God. Remember He is a compassionate, forgiving God who wants our total devotion to Himself.

Scriptures to read:

Psalm 111:1-10 Praising the Lord

Psalm 51:1-10 Spiritual Cleansing

1John 1:5-10 Sin and Fellowship

 Action: Ask God to search out your life and see if there is anything that might hinder your fellowship with Him.
