“Let everything that breathes praise the Lord!” Psalm 150:6
Do you have any idea how many times a day you and I breathe? 17,280
It’s ironic, though, that few of us spend any time at all thinking about our breathing. Our Creator has graciously arranged that breathing takes place automatically, whatever we happen to be doing — even when we’re sleeping! Most of us, in fact, are only conscious of our breathing when it doesn’t come so easy: after a hard workout at the gym, or if we’ve got some respiratory problem.
God wants our praise and gratitude to be as vital and habitual as the way we breathe. Don’t hold your breath! Freely breathe in the goodness of God, but when you breathe out, let it be a breathe of praise and thankfulness for all God has done and will do in our lives. So don't hold back your praise.
