Finding God in Sunsets and Sushi...

I picked up a new book last night. It's by my favorite praise and worship guy, David Crowder. I've always loved his songwriting...So, I figured his book couldn't be too bad. Well, so far...so good! The book is called Praise Habit: Finding God in Sunsets and Sushi.

As I was reading this morning, Crowder touched on the only appropriate reaction we can have to the saving grace of Jesus Christ...Praise! Here's a little bit that spoke to me this morning:

"What choice is there but to respond in praise? Praise is fundamentally a responding to the initiations and intimations of God. The way of living praise sets out to find God's revelation, to carry God's intentions for His creation into our everyday comings and goings. And this way of life should be so compelling and mysterious and other-than that people see us coming from a long way off and it stops them in their tracks and they wait and watch just to see our exchanges and wonder at this life that has been chosen and how to put it on and what is this deeper, truer way of living anyway?"

May we become a people "living praise" so that others will naturally be drawn the the Son because of the "compelling" and "mysterious" nature of our life of praise.
