A Reason to Praise God
Not published yetWhy praise God? The same answer kept coming into my mind: praise God for the work that He has done, and is doing in your life.
Our God is awesome and He has formed us for His glory, not for our own satisfaction. This is not to say that we cannot enjoy the life He has given us. Au contraire! He wants us to have a good life here on earth, but our Father wants us to keep our eyes on Him.
Tanya grew up in an Orthodox Jewish home in the Soviet Union. Her family's tea business was beginning to flourish when Stalin began his purges. When Tanya was 17, her father was taken by the secret police and shot in the head. During the Second World War her brother, sister, and husband were killed. She lost everyone closest to her in a two-year span.
I remember going on a Shabbat drive with family through the beautiful countryside somewhere in the middle of nowhere. It was great enjoying nature in good weather, going up and down through lush, rolling hills of farmland. We also saw some sheep fenced in a large field near the road, and just because we decided to stop the car to look.
