Praise God

Praise God "I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips." Psalm 34:1 Each spring I love to see the Robins come back. They always know when to make it back, as God has put something inside His little feathered friends to tell them just when it will be safe for them to come back, and that the spring rains will come, the flowers will bloom, and the worms will be waiting for them. It is amazing how God takes care of His creations. He knows about all His creations, and provides all that they need to survive. So often we overlook all the things such as the Robins in our lives, and do not give God the praise for these. We need to always praise God for these blessings. We always need to Praise God. Praise Him in the morning. Praise Him at noon. Praise Him at night. If you’ve never praised God in your life, then get started right now. Praise Him for freedom. Praise Him for healing and Calvary. Praise Him for the name of Jesus. You ought to be shouting your way to work and shouting your way back home. If there’s anything the devil can’t stand, it’s praise. If you’ve taken territory from the devil and he’s coming against you to get it back, this is not the time to sit down and whine about how things aren’t working out. It’s not time to decide that God has taken His hand off your life. It is time to get into the Word and get yourself re-anchored in God’s promises. It’s time to keep that promise constantly before your eyes and in your heart. It’s time to pray the prayer of faith and take your stand on the basis of His provision. It is time to continue to do the things you know to do. When Satan starts shaking your mountain, don’t retreat and run for cover. Speak to the mountain with the authority you wield in the name of Jesus Christ. Then, when you’re done with that, start to praise and shout the victory. You don’t have to be afraid of Satan. He’ll be afraid of you. Robert W. Brock My Daily Devotional Volume Seven June 1
