Praise Focus-God’s Good Work

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Praise Focus comes from Hebrews 13:21.

May the God of peace “equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.”

It is a noble ambition to please God in our words, deeds, and attitudes. His grace gives us a beating heart to live for the glory of His name.

Here are some ways that God is pleased, according to the Bible.

• When we live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness
• the salvation of souls by the preaching of God’s Word
• Faith
• Sharing our resources with those in need
• unity of God’s people
• prayers for wisdom
• when God’s people use music to praise God.

God’s good work in our lives is a reason to praise Him in the Year of Focus.
