“I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” Psalms 34:1 NKJV
Living a life of praise is not only the most enjoyable way to live, it’s also one of the most powerful ways to change your life. Praise isn’t what you do only after a miracle has happened; it is what actually makes the miracle happen.
“And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.” – 2 Chronicles 20:22
From the passage above, we see that it was when they began to sing and praise that the Lord moved. If you are waiting for God to do a miracle before you start praising Him, you have got it all wrong. It is when you praise Him that the miracle will happen.
It is by faith that you get miracles; the evidence that you truly have faith in God is in your praising Him even before the miracle happens.
When the devil comes with his trouble, don’t face him; he is too small to get your attention. Face the living God and give Him the best praise. What you will realize is that, just as God did for the people of Judah, He will move on your behalf when you begin to sing and praise Him.
Father, please give me the grace to praise You in all situations IJN.
Shalom
