"He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen."

Deuteronomy 10:21

What comes to your mind when you think about God? Do you praise Him daily for who He is and for what He does in your life?

A.W. Tozer wrote, "The history of mankind will probably show that no people has ever risen above its religion, and man's spiritual history will positively demonstrate that no religion has ever been greater than its idea of God. Worship is pure or base as the worshiper entertains high or low thoughts of God. For this reason, the gravest question before the church is always God himself, and the most portentous fact about any man is not what he at a given time may say or do, but what he in his deep heart conceives God to be like."

Our God is omniscient, all-knowing, unchangeable, righteous, just, holy, eternal, pure, and good—and these are only a few of His many attributes. When we start praising God for Who He is, we will experience pure and genuine worship—the kind God desires from us.

Let's not allow the sin and superficial worship of this world to blur our spiritual eyes and injure our view of God. Take time today to praise God for who He is. Begin a list of God's attributes, and thank Him for each of them.

When we make God the object of our praise we, like the psalmist, will be able to say, "I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will show forth all they marvelous works. I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High" (Psalm 9:1-2).

Experience a clearer and purer view of God by making Him the object of your praise.
