Praise Night

They were also to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord. They were to do the same in the evening.--1 Chronicles 23:30

I have always been fascinated with this verse. The story here is that King David was so passionate about God's glory that he has appointed priests to worship and praise the Lord 24-7 with songs and music.

These people did nothing but praised and worshipped the Lord, not interceding for the people--but adoring the one and only God.

With this inspiration, my husband and I decided to have our very own Praise Night. It is not 24-7, but we just wanted to set aside time that is dedicated to praise and worship the Lord for who He is. No petitions. Just praise and worship for the Lord's pleasure.

Sure we praise God in our regular prayer times, but on Praise Night, everything is about praising the Lord and being generous about it. Nothing more, nothing less.
