There is some innate sense of when something is deserved. A friend and I were watching a football match recently. Two teams faced each other. The away team had a great record going into the match and were said to be the favourites for the match. They gave indications as to why they should have […]
Read More Well DeservedThere are times where I forget that it’s not only the Word of God, but it has the Word from God. What I mean is that when I’m reading about what happens to Adam, Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Moses, Gideon, Samuel, David, Elijah, Jeremiah, Daniel, Nehemiah, Jesus, Peter, Paul and John among others, in and among […]
Read More When I Hear The Praises StartRedeemed. I love it. There’s a hymn of the same title and it’s the epitome of the term ‘uplifting’. It’s a waltz kind of tune that I can literally imagine a little child being swung up by a parent and the child giggling at the fun of it. Even as the last line of the […]
Read More What The Redeemed Have To SaySo the other day I celebrated my birthday. To be fair, it was the longest birthday of my life. Most birthdays I’ve had last for a day – which is kinda what the point is meant to be. On this occasion, though, it felt as though my birthday lasted an entire week. This was largely […]

Read More It’s PraiseworthyIf Jesus gets in on the act of praise as a common activity, it makes sense that praise is a holy habit. When I think of what it is to praise and the heart from which it comes, there are a lot of good reasons why praise is an essential holy habit. I asked my […]
Read More Holy Habits: PraiseNot that long ago I shared how I didn’t always take scriptures in their proper context and treat them properly. Lately, I was challenged about another oft repeated verse. I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. (Psalm 34:1) It won’t take too long to be in certain church […]
Read More Praise and the Defeat of DiscouragementIn the relatively short period of time that I have breathed the breath of life on planet earth, I have come across a number of ways and means to highlight the worth of something. Without in anyway suggesting I am at the Grandmaster level of expressing myself in the English language, I do take pleasure […]
Read More Psalm 150 – Praise Him, Praise Him!Here’s a good Psalm to pay attention to carefully. Reasons to praise God? Sure, they are there and offer strong encouragement for the readers to remember how great God is and what He does for His people. It’s all going well and then … “Two-edged swords … execute vengeance … punishments … bind with fetters […]
