Praise God and Him alone!!


In all that happens in my life I give praise to God and Him alone (Psalm 146:1-10). God is the reason for who I am today. I do not praise man for anything. Throughout my life I have been to a few churches and have sat under some great pastors. However, God may have used people in those churches to bless me. I still do not praise them. I Praise God and Him alone. Sure I do believe in honor and respect. I mean the Bible even talks about honoring individuals (Mark 12:30-31). I have had great parents that raised me the best way they could but I do not praise them for the way I turned out. I love them, respect them, thank them, and I honor them (Exodus 20:12), but I Praise God and Him alone. I have worked for some great companies that have help provide income for me and my family. I don't praise them for giving me an opportunity. I am grateful and thankful for it, but God appointed me there (Romans 13:1) so because of that I Praise God and Him alone. I am blessed to have a wonderful wife who is a God fearing woman. She loves me just as much as I love her with all of her heart and soul. I don't praise her for loving me. I honor her and show her how much I am thankful by the love and respect I give her everyday (Ephesians 5:25-30). For her, I praise God and Him alone. I have great friends and mentors in my life to teach me, guide me, and that show me so much love. For them being in my life, I praise God and Him alone. Recently I have been blessed with a beautiful baby girl that has to be the prettiest little girl on the planet. For the privilege to love her, guide her and help turn her into a wonderful woman of God (Ephesians 6:4). I praise God and Him alone.

All through life you will see that man fall. They will always let us down. They will make mistakes, and even turn their backs on us. We can forgive and forget. Most of the time, we probably will. Especially, when one truly repents and turns from their mistakes or immoral lifestyle. In the book of Numbers (22:21-39) God used a Donkey to speak to Balaam to get him on the right path and to hear God's instruction. God still uses Donkeys today to speak to us and get us on the right path. So we need to not Praise any man or creature for anything. God may use them to speak to us for a moment, but it was God that put them there to guide you. It was God that created this world (Genesis 1:1), It was God that created you (Jeremiah 1:5), it was God that died on the cross (Mark 15:34-47), then rose again on the third day (Mark 16:1-6) and it is God that saves your soul (John 3:16). So don’t praise man...Praise GOD, and Him alone! (Psalm 146:1-10)
