Praising God For What He Has Done
The picture above is just a few of the 83 praise notes I have in my praise box in my office. The praise box was something I started shortly after I put candy out for people to take as an incentive for them to come visit me in my office. I enjoy talking with those that stop by during the week or weekend to fellowship and pray. I was curious though how God was showing up in people’s lives with those that started coming to my office to take candy when I was not there. So, I have a requirement now where you must put a praise in the praise box of something God has done in your life, then you are allowed to have some candy. This has been going on for a little over six months and I have received 83 praises! God has blessed so many of our EBC family. The praises range from having dogs, youth retreats, family, friends, and everything in between. What has God done in your life that you can sing His praises for? The three praises in my life currently are my wife, my dogs, and youth group starting back tomorrow! Next time you are at the church stop by my office and take a piece of candy and write a praise note and drop it in the box.😊
“Praise the Lord! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens! Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his excellent greatness! Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe! Praise him with sounding cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals! Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!” – Psalm 150:1-6
