Perfected Praise

In all things.."Give Thanks" (1Thess 5:18). Praising God through our problems show Him that we reverence Him and not the problems that we face. In turn, those problems seem much smaller when we look down on them from His perspective!!! 

"He inhabits our praises and takes our problems"(Psalms 22:3).  What a Mighty God we serve! I refuse to let a rock cry out for me (Luke 19:40). How can we keep quiet? David admonished, "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord" (Psalms 150:6).

The next time you feel like saying "life stinks" try saying,"the Lord is Greater than all my problems..I am blessed and highly favored." 

Two things will happen. You will feel an immediate shift as you focus on Him as the Prince of Peace comes in. Next, He is a perfect gentleman so He never comes empty handed. He always has what you need!!! 

Praising the Lord prepares your heart to receive your blessing and it pleases God with your adoration. That's right, we show Him love when we can praise Him despite our circumstances. So, go on praise Him for what He has already done, for what He is doing right now, and for what He will do in the future! He is worthy of your praise! I love you all, but God loves you more!
