22 August 2022 | Dear Adventist Today: Kudos for the overall value of the Summer print edition of Adventist Today, entitled “Women in Ministry.” I consider myself to be reasonably well informed as to the contribution that women have made to this denomination in the past.

Tuesday: The Life of Praise
Praising the Lord might not be natural to us, even in good circumstances. Thus, how much more difficult to do it in bad ones? Yet, that is what we are called to do. Praise is something that we must practice until it changes from being an activity done at a particular time to an atmosphere in which we live. Praise shouldn’t so much be a specific act but a specific way of life itself.
Read Psalm 145:1-21. What are the reasons David gives for praising God? In what ways should the words of this psalm be your own?

The great British preacher Charles Haddon Spurgeon wrote a book called The Practice of Praise. It is based on verse 7 of today’s psalm. In this short verse, Spurgeon calls our attention to three important things that can help in developing praise in our lives.
- Praise is practiced as we look around us. If we do not look around us to see the greatness of God, we will have no reason to praise Him. What can you see in the created world that is praiseworthy, such as the beauty of God’s creation? What can you see in the spiritual world that is praiseworthy, such as the growing faith in a young Christian?
- Praise is practiced as we remember what we have seen. If we want to live in an atmosphere of praise, we must be able to recall the reason for it. In what ways can we remember the great things about God (such as by developing new rituals or symbols that remind us of His goodness), so that His goodness and the truth about Him does not slip from our minds?
- Praise is practiced as we talk about it. Praise is not something that we do in our heads. It is meant to come out of our mouths, to be heard by those around us. What reasons can you think of to praise God verbally? What will the effect of such praise be, and on whom?
| Take a pen and some paper and spend some time working through these three points. What can you do to develop the habit of praise in your life? |
Amen!

How to Be Courageous Enough to Face Sin’s Consequences #sermon #shorts
Have you ever made a big mistake in your life? This #short clip from the message, “Adam and Eve: Be Courageous, Face the Consequence of Your Choice,” by Pastor Sam Neves https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-GQY0C_m-s&list=PL-k2Gb-DBYo_n_2Dh95i_CuVORnFlRIk1&index=5 demonstrates God’s desire for us to be courageous in everything that we have done wrong, to face the consequences rather than looking for someone to blame for our sins. We can ask God for forgiveness; He is always willing to forgive and extend His grace, because He loves us. Click the link to learn more about God’s forgiveness and grace, which He freely offers when we come to Him in faith and ask for courage to face the consequences of our actions. ————————————————————————————
