40 Days...Day 7

Good Afternoon Church,
Today is day 7 on our 40 day journey to bring ourselves closer to God. Today’s reading appears in two places in our Bibles Matthew 11:25-26 and in Luke 10:21

Matthew 11:25-26
25At that time Jesus said, "I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants. 26"Yes, Father, for this way was well-pleasing in Your sight.
Luke 10:21
21At that very time He rejoiced greatly in the Holy Spirit, and said, "I praise You, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, for this way was well-pleasing in Your sight..


Sometimes to me it does not feel very comfortable opening prayers with praises to God. What I mean is, God knows who He is, how can I really do justice trying to praise Him. Then to stop and think, what kind of relationship did Jesus have with God? How much more understanding of Gods awe Jesus must have, and yet Jesus would always spend some time praising God. What a truly great example Jesus is to us, and how much more should we want to praise our awesome God.

God bless you,
