Reasons to Praise God
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well.
Psalm 139:14

Psalm 40:1-5
Instead of trying to catch their children doing something wrong, conscientious parents try to catch them doing something right—and praising them for it: "Your drawing is amazing!" "I appreciate the way you let your sister go first." "You always seem ready to help. That's a great quality." "Thank you for saying ‘please' and ‘thank you' so often.
"
The point is, there are myriad reasons to praise our children. And there are even more reasons to praise our heavenly Father if we will be attentive to Him. We may not say, "I praise you, Lord . . ." every time—but a word of thanks serves the same purpose. As an exercise, keep a slip of paper tucked in your Bible and make a growing list of the reasons you have to praise God when they come to mind. Chances are, keeping such a list will increase your attentiveness to, and awareness of, all that God does on a regular basis in your life.
