Praise Undergirds Faith
Psalm 22:3, “God inhabits the praises of His people.”
“By him (Jesus) let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name” (Hebrews 13:15).
You are to serve the Lord with gladness. You are to come before His presence with singing. You are to enter His gates with thanksgiving and come into His courts with praise; you are to be full of thanks to Jesus and bless His wonderful name. That’s the Way to Victory!
You will soon experience the effectiveness of praise. Praise is the easiest way to remove mountains, surmount difficulties, and overcome obstructions. Praise lifts your eyes from the conflict to the conquest. You will increasingly experience God’s presence as you praise and worship Him.
Nothing so multiplies your faith more than praising God. Praise is faith in action. You are thanking Him for what you asked for but haven’t yet seen it. Praise takes your attention from your circumstances and focuses on your mighty God, who works for your good in all things you experience (Romans 8:28 NIV).
Praise is the only real remedy for weakness and anxiety. There is nothing like the force of faith and the power of praise to fortify your soul. Because you are learning the joy of praise, you will seldom know the grief of failure.
Praise is undergirding your faith!
