we live daily, our heart must be fixed to give God thanks and praise. God must be praised with free expression. Our tongue is an instrument we can use in doing that. We must in our praises magnify and glorify God. The note of praise of the psalmist is followed by prayers. It is worthy of note that sometimes in our relationship with God we must climb to God in praise by the ladder of prayers. God must be blessed for the past, in order to plead in faith for the present and future. God's Spirit enables us to pray ourselves to praise and make praises that leads us to pray.

God should be served with the best words not necessarily vain repetitions, for the Lord is weary of vain repetitions. One thing to learn here is that if we are unable to find a great variety of suitable expression in devotion, we need not be in distress rather we should either pray or praise using the same words.

Whoever God will help in any venture must quit the confidence in man's help. When we see the vanity of man's help, it makes us to trust God more, the God who never fails.
