Psalm 148:1-6
148:1 Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord from the heavens;
praise him in the heights!
Praise him, all his angels;
praise him, all his hosts!
Praise him, sun and moon,
praise him, all you shining stars!
Praise him, you highest heavens,
and you waters above the heavens!
Let them praise the name of the Lord!
For he commanded and they were created.
And he established them forever and ever;
he gave a decree, and it shall not pass away. (ESV)

God didn’t create anything extraneous; all was created to praise him and complete his purpose. We each have a purpose as well. We were not put on earth to make a living, impress others or become famous. We were put on earth to praise God and proclaim his greatness. God is so amazing, as he provides incredible blessings to us when we choose to praise him and proclaim him as our Lord. Begin each day with praise to him. Wake up and speak out loud praise that you are breathing, that you have a home to live in and another new day to live. Do this for one week and see how your attitude toward life changes and how much fuller and complete your life becomes.
