It’s Time To Praise-
John 15:8 tells us that our Father is glorified when we bear much fruit. Bearing fruit brings glory to God, therefore it’s so important that we live a fruitful life. Anything that’s living will grow!
One of the greatest tools of growth God has given us is through Praise and Worship. Praise is more than just singing a few songs to fill up time – it’s literally giving to God; telling Him that despite our present situations (surroundings) He is still worthy. Praise gives God something to work with.
Ps 22:3 tells us ‘But you are Holy, enthroned in the praises of Israel’ (your people). Another translation uses the word inhabits, thus stating that when we praise, God comes down to dwell. The greatest visitation we need is His habitation. Visitors come and leave ( thank God sometimes for that, LOL) but is that how we desire Him to be?
According to this Scripture when we praise we build Him a throne so that His presence comes down and collides with our world. Although He is ‘Omnipresent’ there is something great which happens in the realm of praise. Praise causes God to enter your world. He doesn’t just want to enter and leave….He stays when we praise.
Anytime in the word of God when you read of God’s presence, you also read about change. God’s presence (habitation) will bring about change. ‘Tis the season to be jolly – don’t let the devil steal your praise. Praise Him…He’s worthy.
