READ: PSALM103:1-22
The power
of praise is so great that it can hardly be explored fully. Praise jolts God
into action; it hastens the release of our miracles and makes us to become
God’s favourites. God cherishes praise. Many of us wonder whether there is
anything to praise God for; alot.But while many praise Him for material things,
those who really appreciate Him praise Him because He is God. Of course, we can
praise Him for being Himself; but we can also thank Him for Jesus, and thank
Him for the Holy Spirit, too. Indeed, we shall always have something to thank God
for when we make Him the main object of our praise. Nothing else matters if you
remember that He is your praise. You must learn how to celebrate God and praise
Him with all your heart. Moreover, you are to fear Him, serve Him, walk in His
ways, love Him and glorify His name. What attitude are you supposed to manifest
when offering praise to Him? Judges 5:2 says: “When leaders lead in Israel, when
the people willingly offer themselves, bless the LORD!” You are also
expected to serve Him and do His will joyfully. Psalm 40:8 says: “I
delight to do Your will, O my God, and Your law is within my heart.” Do
not serve God grudgingly. Everything you do for God without joy is a wasted
effort. The Bible says that God loves a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9:7). If
you do things the way He wants us to, you will be blessed wonderfully. If you
recall His love and mercy, you will praise Him with indescribable joy. When you
praise God with joy you will receive abundant blessings. Some of us find joy in
serving God because when we look back to where we are coming from, and from
where He rescued us; we discover that serving Him is the best thing that can
happen to us. Today, you can put the power of praise to use. Praise God and experience
an unprecedented release of divine blessings.
MEMORIZE:
PSALM33:1 –REJOICE in the LORD, O you righteous! For praise from the upright is
beautiful.
