You can praise God too little, but you can never praise Him too much. David writes, \u2018From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord\u2019s name is to be praised.\u2019<\/i> (Psalm 113:3 KJV)<\/p>\n
\u2018Seven times a day I praise You.<\/i> (Psalm 119:164 NIV)<\/p>\n
\u2018His praise shall continually be in my mouth.\u2019<\/i> (Psalm 34:1 KJV) When you are overwhelmed by circumstances, the last thing you feel like doing is praising God. But it\u2019s the first thing you should<\/i> do, because praise gets your attention off yourself and onto God\u2019s miraculous power. <\/p>\n
Jehoshaphat faced an army he had no hope of defeating. But when he started to praise God, his enemies destroyed each other while he looked on in amazement. When Paul and Silas praised God in prison, their chains broke and the doors opened. It\u2019s normal to focus on the problem and forget to praise God, but praise solves problems. Peter writes: \u2018The tested genuineness of your faith\u2014more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire\u2014may be found to result in praise and glory and honour at the revelation of Jesus Christ.\u2019<\/i> (1 Peter 1:7 ESV) Start to acknowledge the power of praise and choose to exalt God regardless of how you feel.<\/i> Praise brings you into God\u2019s presence and positions you for His favour and blessing. <\/p>\n
You say, \u2018But I don\u2019t understand how praise works.\u2019 Think about it like this: you don\u2019t have to understand aerodynamics in order to fly. You just get on the plane and the pilot takes you where you need to go. It\u2019s the same when you praise God\u2014just do it and you\u2019ll get results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
