FAITH CAPSULE: Living life this long is the mercy of God.

Psalm 150

This time of the year is the time of expressing appreciation to God!
Living life this long should not only be about what you expect from the merciful God.  
Expressing appreciation to God for the grace of life should be considered to be engaged constantly with consistency.
It is not your knowledge of living life that has brought you this far.
Psalm 150:6 said it all, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!” 
By grace, the hand of the Lord God has been keeping you thus far. 
The hand of God upon you is not because of merit but His mercy. 
Living life is not a right but a privilege bestowed upon you by God. 
In this time of the year, appreciate God with heartful appreciation, stop from thinking thanks but be giving Him thanks with understanding. 
Word of God admonishes to be praising Him with understanding. (Psalm 47:7)
Are you consciously aware that God expects appreciation? 
Lack of expressing appreciation to God is evidence of foolishness. Foolishness is not only in verbal communication but can be in any other way of communication, Proverbs 14:1 records, “The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” 
With the year running out, is your appreciation to God enough? 
Do not be foolish but give thanks to God in the place of thinking thanks to God.
To be alive in the twelfth month is not your strength as the source of your present location in life.
Do not deceive self, by thinking that your strength has kept you thus far. 
This twelfth month of the year, turn to be praising God, with the shout of hallelujah to God.
Just as God inhabits praise, the enemy evil one inhabits the complaint.
Pray that praising God shall be your portion continually. 
Give yourself to praising God for keeping you this far.
Praise Him with understanding.
Psalm 47:7 records, For God, is the King of all the earth; Sing praises with understanding. 
Praise God with understanding.
By praising God is to gain a knowing edge, to claim in His word of promise, to gain and retain His presence.
Praise God with understanding!
Psalm 22:3 records: But You are holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel.
Isaiah 42:10 states: Sing to the Lord a new song, And His praise from the ends of the earth, You who go down to the sea, and all that is in it, You coastlands and you inhabitants of them!
Ask that in this twelfth month, singing songs to the glory of God shall be your way of life.
Ask that praise of victory will not cease in your life this twelfth month and coming months.
Keep to praising and thanking God continually.
Also, engage the shout of hallelujah as a key assessing open door for the goodness of God.

Prayer for today: Ask that the twelfth month of the year shall unfold the goodness of God for you.
