"I will praise You O LORD with my whole heart; I will tell of Your marvellous works. 2 I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High."
Psalm 9:1-2 NKJV
In other words, David, the Psalmist, was telling us to praise God with all we have got, your whole heart. The word 'Whole' is something that contains all the components; it is complete, not divided or disjointed, it is one unit. Now place this description into this context and it describes how the condition of our heart should be.
From thereon, when we tell of God's wonders, all the things that have happened to you and how blessed you have been, the Holy Spirit give us an excitement that is hard to ignore because, it is full of fire - the fire of God. This makes you glad and ready to rejoice, His love cannot be avoided.
Kenneth Hagin's grandson - Craig W Hagin, once said, 'No matter what, I am still happy because God is on the Throne and He has things in control.' Whatever happens in our day, God is always worthy of our praise - our whole praise. He takes care of us; as verse 9 of this Psalm tells us, 'The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed. A refuge in times of trouble.' He tells us something very similar in Psalm 91:2 'I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust.' He is our hiding place, our place of safety, our shelter, protection and our relief. When we realise this fully, it makes you want to shout praise to His name.
Some of you may be in trouble at this moment. There may be something that is worrying you, threatening you or causing you great fear. Stop right there and begin to praise God. Praise Him with your whole heart. He is still on the Throne and His Throne is available to us anytime we wish to visit Hebrews 4:16.
Go to Him right now and begin to pour your whole heart out with praise and your worries and cares will be so small in His presence.
