“Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise-the fruit of lips that confess his name.” Hebrews 13:15
“Let them sacrifice thank offerings and tell of his works with songs of joy.” Psalm 107:22

This ongoing list of God’s graces is my sacrifice of praise. It is a sacrifice when I look to Him for peace and joy and not to myself and other worthless idols. When my lips express thanks for 694, 695, 696…it is a continual offerring to God. A fragrant offering that can only be done because of Jesus. This list is my song of joy.
