Today's Topic:
PRAISING HIM! (Part One)
Our verse to claim for today:
PSALM 150:6 (KJV)
It is written:
"Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD!"
Let's face it: in these troubled times, the last thing most of us want to do is to worship and praise the Lord. Our hearts are given to sadness . . . trying to not lose hope.
But guess what? Scripture commands that we praise Him anyway! Indeed, this is called the "sacrifice of praise" . . . praising Him when we don't feel like it. Scripture even states that this is the sweetest aroma that reaches His Throne: to praise Him, no matter what!
"Through Jesus, then, let us keep offering to God our own sacrifice, the praise of lips that confess His name without ceasing." (Hebrews 13:15, The VOICE)
As we enter into PRAISE, "no matter what," our Spirit comes alive, and our hearts are filled with JOY! So, today we thank our God for the gift of PRAISE!
Our Prayer:
"Father God, today we ask You for the gift of PRAISE. We ask you, Holy One and Rabbi of our souls, to please nudge us when we feel "down," reminding us gently to just begin to praise You. Lord God, even if we can only sing the words to that children's hymn . . . Jesus loves me, this I know . . . we trust that You will meet us in that place and begin to fill us with Your JOY. We ask this in Your name, amen.
