We have so many objects of our praise it is hard
to give a good account of them. The greatest object of praise is God. (Psalms
67:3) We praise His word. (Psalms 56:10) We praise the name of the Lord.
(Psalms 54:6) We praise God’s mighty acts. (Psalms 150:2) We praise men who do
good. (I Pet. 2:13-14) We also praise women who fear the Lord. (Proverbs
31:27-30) The list can go on. If we seek to praise just these objects every day
we have done well. It is of great benefit to us to praise these objects and
think on why they ought to be praised. Let us make sure we dedicate some part
of everyday to praising at least one of these objects.
Think on what is lovely. Let God direct your mind to what is truly lovely in this world. At the very least that tree, flower, and blade of grass that He made and you saw today is lovely. Let Him influence your thoughts every day until you think on what God considers lovely. Then dwell on those things. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom. (Col. 3:16) There will be an overflow of lovely thoughts pour from your mind. Think about how encouraging to others that would be. Think lovely thoughts.
