Sing the praises of the Lord, you his faithful people; praise his holy name.
We are tempted to grumble and complain when we do not receive what we earnestly pray for. When things take a wrong turn and nothing seems to be going right. The confessions of our mouth are mostly negative, because to us we see no reason why we should praise God.
Our praises to God should however not be dependent on circumstances. There is time for crying out to God, laying our request at his feet and there is time for Praising him despite whatever we face. As Hannah's countenance changed after praying at the temple she then wiped away her tears and was no longer downcast. She said, “May your servant find favor in your eyes.” Then she went her way and ate something, and her face was no longer downcast. (1 Samuel 1:18)
Praise God through songs. Praising God from our hearts. When we do this we confuse the enemy who expects us to always expects to be down. Praise God. Declare his wonders to all the earth.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, I commit my life in your hands. I will praise you Lord as long as I live.
And unto Him who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we could ever ask or think, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever.
Amen!
