Blessing Giver
The blessings that God showers on us are too numerous to fathom, let alone to count. They are truly innumerable. Still, we fail to acknowledge the vast majority of them.
Our God worthy of praise for so many reasons. He has created a world that provides and nourishes us. In the sky He has placed an infinite number of heavenly bodies. On the surface He has made an assortment of creatures that boggles the mind. He has given us the ability to relate to each other with tenderness and forgiveness. And the list goes on…
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. James 1:17 ESV
After we have enumerated so many of the blessings, finally we praise God because all blessings flow from him. There is no good thing that comes to us apart from His will or design. Every good and perfect gift comes down to us from Him who never changes. Praise God, and call all other blessing recipients to do the same.
What inspires your praise? The peace you have found in Him? Maybe a character of God which you have experienced in some profound way? For most of us, the purest inspiration for our worship is the blessings that flow from God’s hand into our lives.
RESONATE!
Take a few moments and consider all the blessings God offers you. Have you thanked Him for those or given Him praise today? Make this your simple prayer “God, thank you for all the blessings.”
Praise Getter
If for no other reason, God deserves to receive our praise because of the all the blessings He has given. Every creature that has enjoyed those blessings should join the praise. Those who can speak, and those who can not. From roars, to growls and from purrs to barks, from hissing to chirping and from mooing to cackling. All creatures should give Him praise.

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Psalm 150:6 ESV
Those blessings fall on us from above, to every creature here below. Every creature has breath, and as long as it does, should use that breath to give praise to the One who created them and gave the breath. Everything that has breath should praise the Lord.
Praise God that you have breath, for if you had no breath, you would have no life. Then determine to use that breath to give Him praise, and in so doing join every other creature to render that which is due the One who gave us the breath in the first place.
RESONATE
Take a few moments and think about your breath. Every time you draw it into your lungs is a reason for praise. If you were to use every breath inhaled to praise as you exhaled it would not be too often. Pray this simple prayer, “God, I praise You from my breath.“
Jesus, thank You for the many blessings you give me, not the least of which us my breath. Help me to use more of it every day to give you praise. You are worthy! In Jesus’ name.

Welcome to Tuesday Tunings at Resonant 7, where we reflect on the reality of God and resolve to let it resound in our lives, repeatedly. Let’s tune our hearts.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise Him all creatures here below
O praise Him alleluia
Praise Him above ye heavenly hosts
Praise Father Son and Holy Ghost
What inspires your praise? The peace you have found in Him? Maybe a character of God which you have experienced in some profound way? For most of us, the purest inspiration for our worship is the blessings that flow from God’s hand into our lives.
God, thank you for all the blessings.
Praise God that you have breath, for if you had no breath, you would have no life. Then determine to use that breath to give Him praise, and in so doing join every other creature to render that which is due the One who gave us the breath in the first place.
God, I praise You from my breath.
It is amazing that we get to call to worship, even command, the heavenly host to give praise to the One they never cease to praise. Obviously, they do not need the exhortation because they never stop. It is really more of an encouragement to keep it going.
God, thank You for allowing us to call angels to worship.
His love made a way for us to come back to him. That provides us the fellowship we had lost. That allows us to experience the evidence of his grace. We can find no better reason to praise Him than these. Offer Him the Alleluia’s He deserves today. Do not be left out of the praise.
Lord, I praise you.
Take a few moments to talk to Jesus about what has surfaced in your heart, or just listen to what He is saying to you, then we will sing once more.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise Him all creatures here below
O praise Him alleluia
Praise Him above ye heavenly hosts
Praise Father Son and Holy Ghost
O praise Him alleluia
Take the awareness of God’s presence cultivated in these last few minutes into the next ones and beyond. Until next time,
Be Resonant.
