Lehi was overwhelmed by the things which he saw and read and experienced. His soul rejoiced and his whole heart was filled, and he praised God.
1 Nephi 1:14 . . . Great and marvelous are thy works, O Lord God Almighty! Thy throne is high in the heavens, and thy apower, and goodness, and mercy are over all the inhabitants of the earth; and, because thou art merciful, thou wilt not suffer those who bcome unto thee that they shall perish.
Too often we fail to express gratitude to the Lord, and even when we do thank Him, we seldom praise His name. Our hymns of praise are one of the few ways we praise the Lord, and most of the time during those hymns, our minds are distracted into other things. We have been commanded to "praise the Lord".

One time I was in a grocery store check-out line. The lady in front of me talked to the checker and me about her church and invited us both to join her anytime. I immediately wasn't interested, but she was SO happy and ended with, "I just love going to Church to PRAISE THE LORD."
ReplyDeleteI've never forgotten that. We DO believe in praising the Lord and should do it with our whole hearts, and we should love it so much that we can't help but inviting everyone we meet to join us in the joy of the experience.
