Praising God can happen at any time of day, anywhere, and about anything!
Today I am praising God that I was able to wake up early, have devotion, go to the gym, and blog! I tried out a new morning routine and I'm still deciding how I like it. I praise God that he woke me up feeling refreshed and energized and able to do the things I had planned.
I sit here now, sipping my coffee, so thankful for everything God has given to me and all that He has provided. There are so many things to praise God for. Sometimes we forget that we need to praise God for the little things - we only are reminded when something big and extravagant happens. Lets remember to praise him in everything! Little moments are what make up our lives so glorify God in all the little things and let the joy pour in to you life!
