David's To-Do List

I came across something in my reading that I thought was helpful - a to-do list for our daily lives from King David himself!

Open up your Bible to 1st Chronicles 16, verses 8-12 and see if you don't agree. I have broken down David's instruction into bullet points, creating a to-do list of sorts for our daily walk with Christ.

• Give praise to the Lord
• Proclaim His name
• Sing to Him
• Sing praise to Him
• Tell of all His wonderful acts
• Glory in His holy name
• Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice
• Look to the Lord and His strength
• Seek His face always
• Remember the wonders He has done
• Make known among the nations what He has done, His miracles, and the judgments He pronounced

So, what do you think? That sounds like a perfect way to begin our prayers. By telling God the wonderful things HE has done instead of the list of things that WE would like Him to do.
