O
Lord, I am thy
servant; I am thy servant and the son of thy handmaid. Thou hast loosed my
bonds. I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving.” Let my heart and my
tongue praise thee, and let all my bones say, “Lord, who is like unto thee?” Let
them say so, and answer thou me and say unto my soul, “I am your salvation. -
Augustine Of Hippo
Learn to know Christ and him crucified. Learn to sing to him, and say, "Lord
Jesus, you are my righteousness, I am your sin. You have taken upon yourself
what is mine and given me what is yours. You have become what you were not so
that I might become what I was not. - Martin Luther
Evangelist
Rowland Hill was once walking by a gravel pit outside of town when he saw three
laborers caught in a landslide. He began calling for help so lustily that his
voice was heard in the village a mile away! No one questioned his urgent cry in
that emergency, but many denounced him as a fanatic when he shouted zealous
hallelujahs in his messages, and raised his voice to warn sinners. If Christ and
His salvation are as meaningful to you as they should be, you will be impelled
at times to exclaim spontaneously, "Amen! Praise the Lord!"
Every
Christian is a priest, not offering a sacrifice for sins - since that has been
done once and for all - but offering his person, praise and possessions. -
Vance Havner
I
think we delight to praise what we enjoy because the praise not merely expresses
but completes the enjoyment; it is its appointed consummation. If it were
possible for a created soul fully to 'appreciate,' that is, to love and delight
in, the worthiest object of all, and simultaneously at every moment to give this
delight perfect expression, then that soul would be in supreme blessedness. To
praise God fully we must suppose ourselves to be in perfect love with God,
drowned in, dissolved by that delight which, far from remaining pent up within
ourselves as incommunicable bliss, flows out from us incessantly again in
effortless and perfect expression. Our joy is no more separable from the praise
in which it liberates and utters itself than the brightness a mirror receives is
separable from the brightness it sheds. - C. S. Lewis
There
is no kind of experience in which a Christian has a right to refuse to praise
God, for 'all things work together for good to them that love God. - A. C.
