A Praise Break…The Best!
"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever." – Psalms 118:1.

"What can I do for you, Madam?" Abraham Lincoln asked an elderly lady who had been ushered into his office.
Placing a covered basket on the table, she said, "Mr. President, I have come here today not to ask any favour for myself or for anyone. I heard that you were very fond of cookies, and I came here to bring you this basket of cookies."
Tears trickled down the gaunt face of Lincoln. He said nothing for a moment, then he said, "My good woman, your thoughtful and unselfish deed greatly moves me. Thousands have come into this office since I became President, but you are the first one to come, asking no favour for yourself or somebody else."
+++
Did you hear those words Lincoln said? "Your thoughtful and unselfish deed greatly moves me."
Do you suppose that if we were to come into the Lord's presence to bring Him something, namely praise and thanksgiving, that it might greatly move Him? It could be.
When God reaches down and touches your life, when He cleanses you, when He touches you, when He sets you free from the bondages of sin, when He delivers you from the desire for alcohol or drugs, you just can't help but to praise Him!
Someone put it this way, "A coffee break is good. A prayer break is better. BUT A PRAISE BREAK IS BEST!"
We mutter and sputter, we fume and we spurt.
We mumble and grumble, our feelings get hurt.
We can't understand things, our vision grows dim.
When all that we need is a moment with Him.
“But Thou art holy, O Thou that inhabits the praises of Your people.”
Did you have a praise break today? If not, do it right now...
Stay Blessed!
