Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD from the heavens, praise him in the heights above. Psalm 148:1
There’s nothing like praise to bring a heart closer to God. This pic was taken from the plane above the clouds last week as Derek and I flew back home from Florida. What a view!
Oh, praise Him. He is holy.
I feel a song rising inside me again..

Ohhh yes, let's PRAISE HIM Tiffany!
The beautiful photo, above these puffy clouds, exhibit the Glory of His Holiness & power! Perfect Psalm of praise!
So ~ Let's sing a song of PRAISE!
Which one were you thinking of? My first thought was a hymn and I could not remember completely…
google it…and this was first:
[Thomas Browne 1805-1874]
1. Praise the Lord of heavens!
Praise him in the height;
Praise him, all you angels;
Praise him, stars and light!
Praise him, clouds and waters
Which, above the skies,
When his word commanded,
Did established rise!
***
then this:
[Henry Williams Baker (1821 – 1877) 1875]
O praise ye the Lord!
Praise him in the height;
rejoice in his word,
ye angels of light;
ye heavens, adore him
by whom ye were made,
and worship before him,
in brightness arrayed…
I knew neither???!!! Then "Precious Lord Take MY Hand" had my Bible verse from MISSIONS & music. It didn't help…I'm sure I must know this though…finally I saw this Kid's Video from Colby's Clubhouse and I knew it π PRAISE THE LORD!

I love You, Lord & I lift my voice
to worship You…
with Tiffany!!! (sorry Tiffany sometimes I just get carried away & can't let it go 'til I get some resolution)! You just stirred some
good ole' praising in my soul! Thanks for the inspiration!
Debbie says
I've always been fascinated with the cloud formations. So glad you had a Florida visit. I heard you met Kim!!!!
Rebecca says
Love the photo – there is nothing like an airplane ride to remind you just how amazing God's creation is.
Jennifer says
Beautiful picture Tiffany! I just love to praise Him! He is soooo worthy.
Mary says
Great photo, Tiffany! Yes, praise keeps us filled with joy…"His praise shall continually be in my mouth." He ALONE is worthy to be praised! Thanks or sharing, and thank you for your beautiful heart!

Kathy C. says
Oh beautiful! It's a fantastic and amazing feeling to be above the clouds and see from a different angle all the glorious creation made by the hands of our loving Father – wow – He's amazing. π
Lisa Buffaloe says
Love this, Tiffany. I'm going back through my "Experiencing God" workbook and one of his lessons had us stop and praise God's many names. In the midst of praise, life comes back into focus. Oh, Praise Him!!

Cari Bacon says
Thank you Tiffany for commenting on my blog. I read your "my story", and it brings joy and encouragement to my heart to see how God is able to free you just as He has the ability to free all of us in our own individual ways. I look forward to following your blog.

I can see why this would inspire you to praise. We drove the mountains west of Trinidad around to Walsenburg Monday and felt the same way. wb

Higher perspective…
peace~elaine
christy rose says
OOOHHH! I love Elaine's comment. "a higher perspective"
Beautiful picture!
Irritable Mother says
I LOVE that picture!
There is something so awesome about being in a plane, flying through the clouds like that. I know I am not any closer to God when I'm in an airplane. I know He doesn't hear me any better. But somehow having that "higher perspective" makes me think and pray a little differently.
I think it makes me a little more peaceful, more aware of how great God is, and more confident in my ability to trust Him.
A little crazy? Perhaps.
But I know He loves me anyway *grin*
