Joy from this morning

This morning I decided to read to Malaki to get our day started on the right foot... I hope I can be consistent with that - but that is another story.

I was encouraged by a couple of verses in Psalm 40:
Verse 3 He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord.

Verse 16 But may all who seek you rejoyce and be glad in you; may those who love your salvation say continually, "Great is the LORD!" **the NKJV says "The LORD be magnified!"**

I was also reading in the book, "Gleanings from the Godhead" and was struck with the firm realization that me praising the Lord is not adding anything to his Glory. He is already high above and far beyond my imagination. I am thankful anyway that I have been called to salvation and to say continually, "Great is the Lord!"
