Are
you praising Him today? Maybe you have a trial you are going through and
you just don't feel you can praise our awesome God. But the Word of God
does not say to praise Him when you feel like it. God deserves our praise
at ALL times; especially in the midst of a trial or tribulation he is
allowing us to go through. Praising him is like a healing balm for the
heart. It does not take away the situation we have to go through; nor does
it heal our sick bodies. But it does get our hearts right. When
circumstances seem unbearable or our bodies are afflicted, if we would
begin to praise our wonderful God, our hearts would begin to sense His
wonderful peace; the peace that passes all understanding. Somehow when we
allow God to reach our hearts, then whatever we are going through seems
more bearable because our hearts are right before God. Then suddenly, we
no longer see our trial as a mountain, but just a little obstacle on our
journey through life.
What is one way to get our hearts
right? Praise Him! Praise Him in the morning! Praise Him in the noontime!
Praise Him in the evening! Praise Him at all times!
It is easy to give Him praise when things
are going well. Sometimes God may allow us to go through that trial or
tribulation to test our faith or so we can learn to praise Him in that
trial. God does not really need our praise. After all, He is God Almighty!
God knows that when we praise Him it brings healing to our hearts and life
to us in the midst of our despair. We are the ones who need it.
So next time you feel you just can't praise
Him, remember it is a CHOICE we make. We can choose healing and life or
misery and death. Try praising Him today no matter what the circumstance.
You will find the Great Physician is the best medicine after all!
