"Praise ye the Lord. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation."
Psalms 111:1
What stood out to me about this verse today is the fact that the Psalmist is praising with his whole heart. I think sometimes that what gets in the way of our relationship with God is that we're only half-hearted in our praise and worship. :)
Whenever we are placing something before God in our lives, that is a little bit of our heart that we are holding back from God... and that is holding us back from getting to know him and having him fully in our lives. As with so many other things, it isn't a punishment that God witholds from us because he is upset, but it is a natural consequence of holding back.
Today, let's examine our lives and figure out what we are holding back. The more we can correct those holdouts, the closer we will be able to get to God in our lives, and having his guidance in all things.
