“Let them praise the Lord for his great love and for the wonderful things he has done for them. Psalm 107:31
Praise enables us to remove our focus from ourselves and back onto God. It is his desire that our eyes be set firmly on Him, because that is where our true hope is found. He is worthy of our praise, no matter what we may face from one day to another. When we praise him, we are joining with other believers to declare who God is and to lift Him above any circumstance that tries to steal away our faith, joy and hope. When we praise Him, our hearts are prepared for God’s Word. Praise steers our attention away from our problems and back onto the greatness of our God in heaven. Praise invites the presence of God into our lives, brings us victory in tough circumstances, brings us deliverance from our enemies, repels depression in our life, brings us joy and liberty and draws us closer to Him. It is with praise that our problems shrink to a point that they become an afterthought. Praising our God releases a fresh faith that replaces doubt. It gives us a renewed courage that replaces fear, and it provides us with a great calm that replaces anxiety. It is impossible to praise God and not be changed. The darkness of our problems cannot overwhelm the bright light of God’s glorious presence surrounding us as we praise Him! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS AND AT ALL TIMES!
