Psalm 9:1
I will thank Yahweh with all my heart. I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
Praise God
The phrase "praise God" has become a common phrase in my life. I'm blessed to have my best friend, Michael, in my life after 15+ years. Back in high school, I forget how it came up, but he told me that anytime something good happens, he forces himself to just audibly say "praise God". Jesus certainly quickened that to my heart, and it was again in high school that I witnessed some fruit of, not using the phrase, but practicing giving glory to God in the smaller moments.
Some youth group kids were helping a church member replace their roof - so lots of high-schoolers tearing shingles off, hauling garbage, etc. As we were on the roof, one of the guys nearly fell off (we hadn't even heard of "tie-offs" before). Something like a nail caught his shorts and he recovered his grip. I immediately said "Praise God", and him and another guy looked at me and they go ".... ya! Praise God for sure!" and I think they had a similar experience then like I had with Michael, where when something good happens we draw attention to the Lord, and that edifies those around us.
I don't know when it became habit, but certainly "today" not a day goes by where the phrase "Praise God" doesn't leave my lips at least once. On one hand, I think Jesus has changed my heart to be more immediately responsive to him as the giver of good things, and so it's natural now that when something good happens not to "just say" "Praise the Lord", but to give thanks and actually praise the Lord!. This has been an edifying practice in my life for my own heart. However, on the other hand, bringing attention to God's glory in the wake of good things is good for others. I have noticed my wife and kids, in their own ways, adopt a similar response to good things, and that's been a steady stream of encouragement for me as the Lord continues to shape me and my family.
