Praise Be GOD….

What ever I do….in all things, Lord I do them Unto You, for Your glory that You may be exalted!  My God, I put my trust in YOU! 

When we express our gratitude and thanks to God it brings us closer to Him and prompts us to overflow in praise to Him. May we all be encouraged to take time to praise God today.

Bless our God, O peoples, give Him grateful thanks and make the voice of His praise be heard. Psalm 66:8

Our greatest form of connection to God comes with our praise. When you ask God for something, thank Him knowing that the answer is on the way. When you live with an attitude of thanksgiving, you are putting your faith to work and activating God's supernatural power in your life.

Provide for those who grieve…a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of His splendour. Isaiah 61:3

There is a time, that has been set for us to grieve the loss of a family member or someone close. It's important to go through the healing process and release our hurts to God. He wants to exchange your hurt for His healing and He wants to fill you with His peace and joy. When you praise God, you will feel the strength of God move you.

Joshua said to the people: 'Shout, for the LORD has given you the city!'…And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat. Joshua 6:16-20

Joshua and the Israelites took over the city of Jericho. Now, Jericho had a huge wall built around the city that no army could penetrate. But that didn't stop God from giving them the victory. He simply commanded the Israelites to march around the city in silence for six days, and on the seventh day they were to give a shout of praise.

It seems natural to shout and be happy after the victory, after the walls have fallen. But Faith is, to learn to give Him praise when we're in the troubled zones, and that pleases God.

Do what the Israelites did and give a shout of praise to God. Faith is to believe in God, and not the circumstances. Before long, those walls will come crashing down, and you'll move forward into the victory God has prepared for you.

Unto You, O my Strength, I will sing praises; for God is my Defence, my Fortress, and High Tower, the God Who shows me mercy and steadfast love. Psalm 59:17

David sang about the greatness of God through all his trials. He was talking to his problems and telling them about how big his God was.

Just like David, stay in faith and sing a song of praise to the Lord knowing that He's going to complete what He started.

Sing, O childless woman, you who have never given birth. Isaiah 54:1

Sometimes, when we don't see our dreams coming to pass, we could feel empty and barren like a woman who is unable to have children. God says when you're barren, the first thing you need to do is sing a song of praise. When you're praising God, your faith is activated and you are putting yourself into position to give birth to that promise. You are setting yourself up for God to move on your behalf. All through the day, thank GOD and watch those dreams come to pass.

Therefore, let us offer through Jesus a continual sacrifice of praise to God, proclaiming our allegiance to his name. Hebrews 13:15

When you live a life that offers Him continual praise, you are setting yourself up to see continual victory.

Praise comes from the heart and the way you live your life. Every time you obey His Word, when you continually follow His commands; especially when it's uncomfortable, when we don't feel like it, when we are tired that's offering a sacrifice of praise to Him.

Always praise and acknowledge God. Keep God, first-place.
