Do you praise God for everyday that you're alive? I don't always but I try to remember to.
Are you thankful for all that God has given you? I'm not always thankful; I should try harder.
So why is it important to honor God in everything we do? Well, why shouldn't we? He made us remember? He made us in His own image so that we might glorify Him. But we don't do as we should. When you are little your parents teach you about obedience. Your mom and your dad enforce rules for your safety and you are just waiting for the day to turn 18 to do whatever you want right? WRONG! First off, you should always be submissive to your parents no matter how old you get. God put them in your life for a reason. You often here that you have two fathers. You have the earthly one that God gave you, and you have God. Now, you might be thinking, Josh that's just ridiculous. Well it's not that ridiculous when you think about it. God is your father also just as your father on earth. Just as it says in the ten commandments, Honor thy Father and thy Mother. FATHER means your father on earth and your heavenly Father. Mother of course is referring to your mother because you only have one of those. So you should honor God as your Father.
Why is it important to praise God everyday that you're alive? Well let's see. HE MADE YOU. DUH!!! OK now that I just about blew a gasket, let me explain. Why shouldn't we praise Him everyday? He has given us so much in our lives, not to mention our lives, and we are so unappreciative. We live in a society that depends on luck and that's all the hope that some people have. Well, sorry to break it to you but you're not lucky, you're just blessed, and God is the one that blessed you. How do you praise God, a lot of people believe that praising God needs to be done by singing songs. That's not the only way of worshipping Him. What about in your prayers, if you pray, which you should. Do you worship Him then? Why not? You are actually talking to Him.
What about being thankful for everything God has given you? Why is that important? Well, do you enjoy the stuff you have? All that you have is from God whether you believe it or not! We take for granted all the things that we have and we act like we deserve it. WE DON'T! God can take everything you have away no matter what you do about it because you can't do anything about. Why do we depend so much on ourselves to provide for our needs or for the families we have when if we give it all to God and just trust Him we will be just fine.
So did anything I just say or type make you think at all? I hope so. I often forget that I have a creator and His name is God and He made everything and He provides for my every need. If only I would give all of my other problems to Him, I'd just be better off. There is not a thing that God can't handle. He can do anything and I can do anything through Him who gives me strength. That should be everyone's motto.
