Keep on Praising

"I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth."  Psalm 34:1

This verse means Praising God on a continual basis; not just when things are going well but at ALL times. That's the hard one. It's easy to Praise God when things are going our way. However, when we walk through the storms of life, it's not so easy.

But we shouldn't let life steal our song - that joy and praise. Things do come along that knock our faith but we need to keep on keeping on. Praise is the answer.

Let us do a little self-analysis here. Ask yourself, 'how do I react to life events that knock me sideways? Do they affect my walk with God.' A lot of us can become floored when storms hit us; and let's be honest, often the last thing we want to do is Praise God. However, this is exactly what we should do. Not Praising God for the storm itself, obviously; but for the fact that God is still on the Throne and he will carry us through whatever we face.

Now this is the total opposite to what the devil wants to do. He's a thief (John 10:10.) He's a joy stealer and he will do all he can to rob us of our faith and hope. When we react positively - Praising God, the devil is defeated and has to flee because he can't bear to hear us praising God. He has to flee and fathom out what he can do next to attack and rob us next time.

Whatever, you are going through at this time, offer that Sacrifice of Praise to God (Hebrews 13:15. As you do this, Jesus will meet with you and hold you up and help you through the situation, until all is well.

Make sure you are daily wearing the Armour of God (Ephesians 6:14-18) and continue to stand. He is worth it!
