Praise Him

“Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth.”Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭2‬ ‭NLT‬‬

The verse before this gives us context:

“Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand.”

‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬ ‭NLT‬‬

What thoughts about heaven can we entertain? I’ve had a song knocking about in my spirit:

Praise the Lord oh my soul, praise the Lord oh my soul (Elevation music). Praise is a good place to start; Praise at all times, good and bad. Praise Him when I’m awake in the wee hours; praise for the dogs that bark; the planes that roar in overhead. Praise Him for the seeds that will not sprout, praise Him though my head aches and my back is tender. Praise Him!

Though the fig tree does not blossom and there be no fruit on the vine, though the produce of the olive fails and the crops produce no food, even though the sheep die in the field and the cattle barns are empty, yet will I rejoice in the Lord, yet will I rejoice in the God of my salvation (Habakkuk 3:17-19). Amen!
