i've been reading praise habit by dear ol' david crowder (thanks christine!) and as i've been reading through the psalms that he comments on, it's the SAME theme over and over and over again: praise God.

well duh

but like every single psalm, it would ask for specific things to praise God, but in my mind, i'm thinking, "okay, everything, praise God. period. done. okay next psalm...uumm...okay praise God...next psalm..uumm WHAT ELSE IS THERE?!"

but then i realized...

no amount of words in the human language can truly praise God for who He is...none. and crowder was trying to get at this too: praise is not just the songs we sing, the words we say or write. it is our LIFE. we are God's monument, the thing that aids in our memory of God's greatness. the world was created for His praise.

so simple, yet so easy to forget.
