How to Avoid Offering the Same Old Sacrifice -- Psalm 145:3 tells us the Lord is great and greatly to be praised. Yet in years past I often found myself feeling like my praise falls short of that. I started using biblical terminology, repeating phrases found in scripture that describe Him. “You are great and greatly to be praised!” (Psalm 145:3.) “You are Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6.) “You are full of compassion and plenteous in mercy.” (Psalm 86:15.) Although I find great value in praying scripture, praising through scripture seemed to lead me down a road of repetitive praises, and frustration.
