Transforming My Attitude, Changes My Perspective....

God loves to be praised. Yet I find myself doing it less and less. Why is that? My thinking is because I’m too focused on myself. I don’t make the time to sit and be still throughout the day. If I would just stop, stop my thinking, and get the focus off “me”, it would free up my biased sight to reveal all that God has done, continues to do, and will do in my life. It’s almost if I were flying a drone. The second it takes off the view is of me (I fill the frame), as it flies higher I get smaller and smaller and the view expands to include more and more. Eventually I’m a dot in the view of many miles of territory in which God has made. This “big picture” is exactly what we need to see everyday in order to keep the proper perspective in life. God is the only “WAY” we can stay/remain/become humble. When we praise Him, His presence is felt. When Solomon was moving the ARK to the finished Temple, they were praising God with music and song. They praised Him, and His presence filled the Temple. Their praise was rewarded with His presence. Isn’t that the greatest blessing here on earth? His nearness to us is our good. Praise Him today. It’ll transform your attitude by changing your perspective.

13 The trumpeters and singers performed together in unison to praise and give thanks to the Lord. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and other instruments, they raised their voices and praised the Lord with these words: “He is good!His faithful love endures forever!” At that moment a thick cloud filled the Temple of the Lord. 14 The priests could not continue their service because of the cloud, for the glorious presence of the Lord filled the Temple of God. 2 Chronicles 5:13-14
