How many times a day have I been angry?
how many times a day do I complain about what is wrong?
How many times a day do I drag myself down by my own words and actions only to feel even worse?
I figure I can take the time to do all those things why not turn it around a take the time to praise.
Praise God for all the blessings I don't notice in the middle of a battle.
Praise God for the ability to see, talk, communicate with people.
Praise God for sustaining me through all the storms and pits often ones I myself jumped into.
Praise when I feel like crying, praise when I feel like throwing in the towel cause I never seem to do it right.
Praise when I feel like the weight is too much to bear.
in the midst of the praise God himself comes down and puts himslef in the middle of that moment when I believe I am all alone. For His word says that he INHABITS the praise of his people.
Well today I choose to laugh a little more, sing a little more, thank him a lot more.
thank Him that I woke up, thank Him that I have a home and a family that loves me.
Take the time in the middle of everything take a deep breath and say Lord , I don't know where this is going but I know where I am going.
I am going to the throne room to lay my head in your lap, and give you praise. to feel your very presence in my situation and watch as it unfolds before me.
Because the word says having done all that you can do to stand stand therefore, and see the salvation of the LORD.
I know I will have battles, but the victory was won, instead of fighting Help me learn to put on my breast plate of faith, pick up my shield of righteousness, and get the sword of the word in my hand and face the devil with the truth.
The truth he cannot deny, and wait in praise and prayer knowing that whatever he has stolen You in your awesome works have guaranteed me victory and not just the return of my stuff but 7x what he took to begin with.
So right now in this moment, while the world spins around me , I give you praise, praise for the little and the big, for the things we often overlook, and the thing we take for granted and thank you for the victory.
