Day 14 reflections:
John 4:23 – Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for they are the kind of worshippers the Father seeks.
A heartfelt praise recognizes and declares the greatness of God over our lives.
And that is the cure for pride.
We are nothing without Him and will be nothing without Him. All we have He gave us, and all we will ever be, He will make us.
We are not like the rich fool who prided himself in his achievements, yet he had no control of a single minute of his life….Luke 12:20:
But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your soul is required of you; and now who will own all the things you have prepared?’
Through praise, we declare our dependence on God and God alone.
We praise Him when we are up, we praise Him when we are down.When we rend our voices up in praise, we are saying to God, “No matter what happens, I will trust and praise You.”
An atmosphere of sincere worship and praise sickens the devil. He fears the power in the name of Jesus Christ and flees from the Lord’s habitation in praise.
Psalm 50:23.
He who sacrifices thanks offering honors me, and he prepares the way so that I may show him the salvation of God
PRAISE PUSHES THE WORRIES OF THIS LIFE INTO THE BACKGROUND. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. – Phil 4:6-7
PRAISE REMINDS US WHO GOD IS Psalm 75:1 – We proclaim how great you are and tell of the wonderful things you have done.
How great thou art, How great thou art song
Daniel 2:20 – God is wise and powerful! Praise him forever and ever
WE ENTER HIS PRESENCE WITH PRAISE
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him and bless His name – Psalm 100:4
