The Power of Praise

Psalm 100:4 says to enter His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise!!!!

In the light of this verse, it would be easy to say that there is power in our praise. I would say that the only power our praise has is to get our eyes focused on Who God is. The power isn't in our praise- the power is in God's Presence!!!! 

One of the purposes of praising God is to remind our hearts of Who He is, and of who we are in Him. We are set free when our focus changes from whatever brokenness or difficulty or hurt we have been allowing to take our eyes to seeing Who God is in the midst of those things. Even the greatest joys and triumphs that we can experience on earth are still a burden in the light of His greatness!!! Faith arises when we realize and refocus on Who God is- and we do this through praise.

Very simply, our highest goal and joy in life is to find God and to abide in His Presence! Today, let's thank Him for Who He is; and as we enter HIS courts by virtue of His invitation through His grace, let His perspective overwhelm our hearts an minds.

The power is in His Presence!!!!!!
