Remember the meaning of the word grace:

unearned, unmerited favor with God.
 

Keep in mind Romans 12:1:
Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.

You might ask: “Why should we praise God?”

According to Psalm 117 we see these words:
Praise the LORD, all nations; Laud Him all peoples! For His lovingkindness is great toward us, and the truth of the LORD is everlasting. Praise the LORD! 
 
APPLICATION:
 
Is regular praise to God a consistent habit in my life?
Why or why not?
What can I do about it?
May our lives be filled with praise!
This week, as we ponder the cost of our salvation by our Savior, may praise be even more pronounced in our lives.
