Praise the Lord

============

Praise is not only a feeling, it is an action. I sometimes feel so elated that I just want to shout with glee. But there are other times where I don’t feel like praising so much. In fact there are times when I feel like complaining. BUT GOD wants me to praise.

• Praising GOD is great to do on a daily basis to keep my mind on “what is” versus “what isn’t.”
• Praising GOD when I don’t feel like it takes effort but helps me minimize the problem to something small.
• Praising GOD helps me focus on HIM and HIS power and HIS love, which in turn helps me understand I am in that same family.

It is time for praise! Like going to the gym, I may not feel like doing it but feel great when I finish. Praise should not be an option rather a time of day. I should not ask myself, “should I praise GOD when I’m going through whatever problem” rather I should ask myself, “what time am I going to praise GOD today.”

• Do you think praising GOD is a choice?
• Do you praise GOD only when you feel like it?
• Can you stop what you are doing right now and praise GOD?
