    I will praise you, O Lord. How should we praise Him? I see some ways in this text. 1- I will praise you in my heart 2- I will praise you in the world 3- I will praise you in song 4- I will praise you in humility 5- I will praise you in trouble

    INTRO.- Praise. How important is it? ILL.- I like this cute story. Everyone needs recognition for his accomplishments, but few people make the need known quite as clearly as the little boy who said to his father: "Let's play darts. I'll throw and you say "Wonderful!'" God does the good stuff ...read more
