Joel 1:10, Neh 8:10 , 1 Pet 2:9, Is 43:21, Ps 102:18, Heb 13:15
• Where joy dries up, things are hard.
• We were called to praise.
• Adam was created to glorify God, not to live for himself.
• There is no such thing as living for yourself, if you’re not living fog God, you’re living for the devil.
1 Chr 23:30-31, Ps 103:1-4
• Forgetfulness is a major hindrance of thanksgiving.

Why praise God?
1. We were created to praise God (Is 43:21)
2. Praise pleases God (Ps 69:30-31)
3. Praising God is acknowledging Him (Mal 2:1-2, Ps 44:3)
4. For your lifting (Ps 113:1, 7-8, Hab 3:17-19)
