How do you praise Him?

"I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation." Psalm 118:21

How do you praise Him?

Did you know that without faith it is impossible to please Him?

But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for him that cometh to God must believe that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him." Hebrews 11:6

Faith is the by product of His love, and calling in your life.

Faith is an attitude of life.

We must believe in Christ, to put our trust in Him as our strength, without whom we can do nothing.

He is our shield, our defender, and the lifter up of our head.

"Our soul waiteth for the Lord: He is our help and our shield." Psalm 33:20

We must keep our eyes upon Him, to enjoy Him in all things, wherever we are, and whatever we do.

"The dead praise not the Lord, neither ant that go down in silence. But we will bless the Lord from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the Lord." Psalm 115:17-18

We are to bless the Lord "from the rising of the sun, unto the going down of the same the Lord's name is to be praised." Psalm 113:3

No matter what you are going through, no matter how weary you are, you can still praise Him.

Sometimes we think that our problems are bigger than God.

It is when we forget that God can take care of all our problems that we go even deeper into a state of depression.

We get into that state after we take our eyes off Him.

Yes, it is true what we put in our heart, and mind come out of our heart.

"Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life." Proverbs 4:23

Has something kept you broken, and weary?

"Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly." Psalm 31:9

God can take a broken vessel and make it brand new.

"Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah." Psalm 32:7

When we start praising Him, all our situations are pushed aside, and his love comes down and engulfs us.

He sets us free!

Free of fear and condemnation.

Free to receive all His blessings.

Free to live in victory.

Free to be found whole in Him.

Free to become a doer of the Word of God.

Praise is the confession of our faith in God's Word.

God demands that we come to Him with our faith.

We must learn to get the words of our mouth lined up with the Word of God.

Our praise will release that faith when we use the Word of God.

God's Word contains power.

There is something about the costliness of sacrifice that touches the heart of God.

You see, God is not only interested in the praise that we give Him when things are going well.

God is after that praise that comes out of a difficult trial, or grief, sickness, depression, oppression, temptation, financial difficulties, or whatever else there maybe.

It is very hard to praise aloud when you inner most being has been shattered.

We all must learn that sacrifice of praise, no matter what the circumstance.

We are to offer a sacrifice of praise to God continually.

So if you are down and out, weary, or just frustrated, start to praise Him and watch what God will do for you!

"By Him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name." Hebrews 13:15
