Praise for God

Reading Psalm 145:10

"All you have made will praise you, O Lord;
your saints will extol you."

We have praise for all kinds of things in this world. We speak in glowing terms of sports teams, hobbies, books we've read, people we admire, historical events, etc. God made all these things and is involved in everything that is good, yet often we fail to recognize him for his "mighty acts" (verse 12). By exalting God we don't give him a higher place in the world, he is already in the highest place, but we give him a higher place in our thoughts and gain a true perspective on our relationship to him and on what is really important in this world.
