Chapter 29—Praise and Thanksgiving VC
Expression of Praise to God—Brethren and sisters, the Lord is our God. If Christ is formed within, the hope of glory, we have a hope in God that it is impossible for us to keep to ourselves. We will praise Him. We do not praise Him as much as we should. Whoso offers praise glorifies God. Now instead of speaking doleful words, and telling of our trials and afflictions, let us thank God that we can speak at all, and resolve that we will endeavor to glorify His name.—Manuscript 39, 1908. (VSS 148.1) MC VC
Continual Praise—Our voices should be oftener heard in praise and thanksgiving to God. His praise should continually be in our hearts and upon our lips.—The Review and Herald, May 22, 1900. (VSS 148.2) MC VC
Precious Chapters in Our Experience—Far more than we do, we need to speak of the precious chapters in our experience. After a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit, our joy in the Lord and our efficiency in His service would be greatly increased by recounting His goodness and His wonderful works in behalf of His children.—Christ’s Object Lessons, 299, 300.
