I’m sure most people have heard this phrase, “When the praises go up, the blessings come down!” Though that actual statement is not a scripture in the Bible, it’s a true statement!
When we praise the Lord, it fosters a deeper connection with God, strengthens our faith, and brings joy, peace, and renewed strength, even in difficult times. Praise is a form of worship, and the Word of God tells us that God inhabits the praises of HIS people!!! So if HE loves this, and since HE tells us that when we delight ourselves in HIM, we shall receive the desires of our heart; then we need to give HIM all glory, all honor and all praise for what HE has done for us…for loving us and for never leaving nor forsaking us!!!
Remember, praise waters your faith!
If you can’t see an opportunity, you can’t seize it. Desperate people do desperate things, and praise is key!!
Also, praise is a great prescription for emotional pain…if people don’t understand your pain, they won’t understand your praise!
Please see this list of benefits that come as a result of praising God:
