Only praise

A lot of people underestimate the power of praise. To me praise means everything. It is food for my soul. I just can not do without singing. No matter what I am going through, it is only praise that can put a smile on my face. Only praise takes me there.

The reason I praise God is because I love him. I just love to sing about him and celebrate his marvellous works and also because the bible says let everything that has breath praise the lord and I am alive.

Every time I open my mouth to sing, I feel like dancing, I feel like clapping, I feel like laughing, I feel like jumping, I feel like..... I just can not explain the rivers of joy that just flood my soul.
Psalm 34:1 says "I will bless the LORD at all times;His praise shall continually be in my mouth."

One might not understand this but I know that when God does something great for me and I have nothing else to give. I can never fall short of praise. I always have a new song to sing to Jesus. I never struggle in this area. Only praise will do.
Psalm 104:33
"I will sing to the LORD as long as I live;I will sing praise to my God while I have my being."

Psalm 106:2
"Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? Who can declare all His praise?"

You do not need to wait for God, to do something out of this world for you before you can start to praise him. Even when you are waiting for your break-through and miracles sing praises unto God, sing praises. Who knows? Maybe that is what he is waiting for.

There are times in my life when I find it hard to pray. I just don't know where to start, what to say, how to say it, but, praise just happens like that. No matter how hard things may be, I just need a moment to reflect on my life and what God has done and before I know it I am singing.

I am sure most of us have been to watch our loved ones taking part in a sport or something. When you start cheering them up it means so much and it stirs something in them. You will see this through the effort they put in, just to avoid disappointing you. I have watched my children running and it's amazing to see them perform.

These are only our loved ones we are cheering up. What do you think your praise will do to God? I can only imagine? Honestly! I can only imagine?

Try it today. Do something new today. Only praise will do. I believe that it has to come from the heart if you want it to work.

Psalm 47:6-7 "Sing praises to God, sing praises!
Sing praises to our King, sing praises!
For God is the King of all the earth;
Sing praises with understanding."

Stay blessed.
