Psalm 9:1-2
9 I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.
According to scripture we all should be praising the LORD for all HE has done and all HE brought us out of. Always remember that JESUS is always there to help us get through everything in life. Sometimes HE calms the storm and sometimes HE calms us while we go through the storm.
I know sometimes it’s not easy to praise HIM but remember that as born again believers there will be no more storms; we will be in Heaven forever. How AWESOME is that. We will always stand on HIS plan of salvation we find in Acts 2:38. It’s about repenting of your sins, get Baptized in JESUS name for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the HOLY GHOST.
We will always stand on the Truth because that’s what makes us free from everything that’s not of GOD.
How AWESOME it is to praise HIM because HE’s the only one that’s worthy of it.
We are so thankful and so Blessed living for JESUS.
Psalm 18:2-3
2 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
3 I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
Psalm 86:11-13
11 Teach me thy way, O Lord; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
13 For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
Psalm 150
Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
2 Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.
3 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.
4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.
We have breath, we should praise the LORD. We praise HIM for HIS Mercy, HIS Grace, HIS Love, HIS healings, HIS comfort, HIS Peace, HIS Salvation, HIS Deliverance, HIS Provisions. Even if your days are going smooth and easy, Praise HIM for that. True Praise is hard to contain. Praise lifts our spirits. Praise refocuses our thinking and puts it on JESUS.
