How to Use "The Lust Dare"
Day #29: Whatever is
Praiseworthy
“I will bless the
Lord at all times, His praise shall continually be in my mouth.”
-Psalm 34:1
Today, as we finish out that verse
from Philippians we come to the very last word that is given to think on. After
true, noble, just, pure, lovely, good report, and virtue, comes if there is anything praiseworthy. We
are to think on that which is praiseworthy. And who is more worthy of praise,
than God Himself, the Author, Perfecter, and Creator?
There was a man in the old
testament, a member of the genealogical line of Jesus, who wrote many, many,
words on the praiseworthy attributes of God. He praised God time and time again
in his writing, and thus it is his words, inspired by God, that I want to leave
you with. Remember as you read these and in the days ahead to think on that which
is praiseworthy.
