"Oh that my praise and thanksgiving could match the blessings that The Lord has poured out on me."
Try.
I dare you.
In the same measure that you are blessed... praise the Lord. That is the challenge.
Eventually you will run out of words. There are always more blessings than ways to say thank you. Maybe that is why the psalmist gave instruction to praise Him with instruments, loud shouts and applause. It is not the words that God hears anyway, it is your heart.
So go on. Try to praise God more than you are blessed. I promise you will still have an abundance of blessings and run out of words. That is where you simply give your heart to the Lord and let Him listen to the inaudible praise that comes form the deepest part of who you are.
Have you ever tried to praise the Lord more than He has blessed you? What other instructions on praise do you see in the Bible?
