"Psalms 34"

I woke up this morning with Psalms 34 in my spirit. Scripture says "I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise shall continually be in my mouth". I had to reflect on this Scripture for a minute, because it is one that is so commonly used among churches, that it has become cliche'. But this Scripture is in fact instruction that we should allow our lifestyle to welcome with open arms. I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. I read this Scripture and realized that my praises have been running in short supply. My dialogue with God should be constant throughout my day. To the average individual or even the average christian, this may seem like a great expectation. Paul says in Romans 12:1, that we our to present our bodies a living sacrifice. That means even our mouths! Of course this will take some adjusting and practice. But if you read on; Paul follows up and says it is our reasonable service. Meaning... it is the least that we could do. I would think that the Lord would deserve more than our least. So, I challenge those with busy schedules and hectic lives... Let us not allow this Scripture to be disguised as a suggestion or something trivial. But, let us unmask it, and expose its true value as an essential part of our fellowship with Christ.
