As humans, we have a tendency to compartmentalize things. It’s in our nature to make lists, and rank priorities, and really box certain things in. We’ve got our work life over here, and our family life over there, and our faith somewhere else. 

 

This can often lead us to confusion about what we’re supposed to do, and when, and where we’re supposed to go. And this confusion extends to our faith. We wonder: When am I supposed to pray, and when am I supposed to take action on my faith?

 

Psalm 34:1 says, “I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.”

 

When we get the Word deep in our hearts, we can have an answer for our personal questions. This psalm tells us that we are to always remember the great gifts the Father God bestows on us. His greatness is ever before us and in this way, we can worship Him all the time, no matter what we’re doing.

 

Learn to bless the Lord and praise Him as you do your job, as you fellowship with others, and even as you engage with people who don’t believe what you believe. They need to see the love of Christ shining through you.

 

Let’s pray.

 

Lord, we bless you and praise you with our words. Thank you, Father, for never ever forgetting us. In Jesus’ name, amen.
