“Praise awaits you, our God, in Zion; to you our vows will be fulfilled.” Psalm 65:1
The Psalmist assures God that praise awaits Him in Zion. How remarkable!
When God comes to your home or heart, will He find praises there or will He find complaints? For some people, He will meet with complaints, and so He will not stay. No one wants to be in an environment where all they hear is complaints.
If you can have a place in your heart and home where God can find praise at all times, He will surely draw close to you.
Solomon did not ask God for anything when he became king, neither did he complain about all the issues his father left for him to resolve in the kingdom; all he did was to make a sacrifice of worship to God that no one had ever made before, and God paid him a visit with a blank cheque (1 Kings 3:4-5).
When Paul and Silas were in prison, they didn’t complain and query God; rather, they turned the prison into a house of praise, and they got a special visit from God. As soon as God arrived in the prison, there was an earthquake and all their chains were broken (Acts 16:23-26).
Is there a problem giving you sleepless nights? Turn those sleepless nights into praise nights unto God and see all your problems fall down flat.
Father, please help me build an altar of praise for You in Jesus name.
Shalom!
Amen🙏
