DEVOTION:  To Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God and Father-- to him be glory and power forever and ever!  Amen.  The Story p. 459-460
 
To whom does the praise go in your life?  When things are going right does God get the praise?  When you count your blessing does God get thanks for those blessings?  When you are going through hard times do you thank God that He is bringing you through them?  Do you thank God that He is growing you through those times and places in your life that are painful?  Does he have the glory and power forever?
 
I must confess myself that I don't always give God His due.  I am far from the first to praise Him in the good times and thank Him for His mercy and the bad times.  Shame on me.  Shame on all of us. 
 
What would our lives look like if we always gave God the praise He was due?  It would be a life of praise wouldn't it?  People might think we were nuts because all we would be doing is praising Him day in and day out 24 hours a day. 
 
You see, God deserves all the praise.  He deserves every bit of the honor we should be giving Him.  He gets all the glory, because He is glorious.  He gets all the honor, because He is above all honored.  He gives you all mercy so He alone is to be praised!  He gives you more grace even though you don't deserve it, so He alone deserves for you to fall prostrate at His feet and honor Him as Lord and God above all.  He is the one who gives you your very breath so He deserves for you to honor Him with that breath.  He gives you food and clothing, house and home, wife and children, land, animals, and all that you have.  For all this it is our duty to thank and praise, serve and obey him.  This is most certainly true!  Amen.
