Psalm 65:3
3 When iniquities prevail against me, you atone for our transgressions.
This week we’ve been looking up to the throne room of God and shouting praise to the Lord. There are two big reasons praising God may be hard for you. One is ignorance. It is impossible to praise a God you don’t know if praise really has to come from the heart. I can’t call a song beautiful if I’ve never heard it, or call a burger juicy if I haven’t had a bite.
Ignorance keeps millions around the globe from their praises, but it is the second reason that keeps Christians silent. Sin keeps your tongue tied and your heart cold. How can you stand before that God knowing your own rebellion stinks so badly? Iniquities prevail against our praises. Or they would, but God is so great, He has turned even our sin into reason for praise. He has atoned for your sins.
Prayer prompt: Lord, forgive me for my sins and fill me up with the praises due to a God who forgives.
