I Will Exalt You; I Will Praise Your Name

Read: Isaiah 25:1
God isn’t hidden: he has done wonderful things. The Bible is filled with accounts of men and women who have interacted with a knowable God, who has made known his plans and made promises, and then fulfilled his plans and kept his promises. He is who he is, but he does not keep all of who he is to himself.
We praise God because he has done wonderful things. Praising him only adds to our experience. For example, a great piece of art such as a painting, a novel, or a piece of music, is only half-enjoyed until it has been praised to others.
Praising our praiseworthy God only brings more joy to our soul, as well as more glory to God.
Has God done wonderful things in your life, fulfilling his plans and promises? Is your response to exalt him, and praise his name?
