Reasons to Praise

Psalms 65:4 KJV
Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.

The Psalmist goes from here to recount over and over the praises of the Lord. This is one of those good passages to keep in mind when we want to give the Lord praise but perhaps our situation has made giving praise more of a difficulty. Dwelling on a passage like this has wonderful praises built into it.

That God has chosen us and caused us to come to Him
That we shall be satisfied with the goodness of His house
That He is the God of our salvation and through it given us confidence
That His strength set the mountains in their place
That He stills the seas and the tumult of the people
That He settles the furrows and sends the showers for our necessary food

Give God the glory He deserves. Give it to Him every day. Give it to Him went you don't feel like it. And if you can't find other things to praise Him for, praise Him through this Psalm.
