DAILY WORD – FRIDAY 21 OCTOBER 2005

BUT TRUE PRAISE IS A WORTHY SACRIFICE; THIS REALLY HONOURS ME. THOSE WHO WALK IN MY PATHS WILL RECEIVE SALVATION FROM THE LORD. (PSALM 50:23)

Praise isn’t always easy. At times, it requires great sacrifice to lift our hearts to the Lord with praise. But the reality is, that in the midst of a storm when we feel battered by the waves of difficult circumstances, it is praise and thanksgiving that bring us into the throne room of God.

In His presence and only His presence is fullness of joy. This is not a joy that we receive from doing something nice or having a great day, but rather this is an abiding joy that fills us with strength in the midst of the worst times. A joy born of complete dependence on the Lord for our salvation.

I am sure, that like me, many of you have discovered that sitting in a bad place with an attitude of hopelessness never made you feel any better or helped you solve the problem.

All our solutions are in the throne room of God and praise, especially in hard times, transports us there.

Whatever your problem today, if you praise you’ll be raised.  

So when we lift our hearts in praise, sometimes with tears flowing from our eyes, our God strengthens us and delivers us out of the pit of despair into His glorious presence. Suddenly we are able to laugh in the face of the enemy knowing that our God is for us. He is our salvation, today, tomorrow and for the rest of our lives! Praise God!

Remember today:  The joy of the Lord is your strength!

Have a praise filled Friday.

Much love

Chrissy
