It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. Have you ever found yourself pressed between a rock and a hard place? Things were at a crucial point in your life. You were too far in to be out, but too far out to be in. Turning back was impossible and going forward appeared impossible. You can remember the days when everything seemed to be going your way. You were coasting along the way. No attacks, no threats, no unforeseen circumstances, no dilemmas. Have you ever felt empty within? You had many people surrounding you but within you still felt a major void. You had the nice clothes, drove the nice car, ate at the nice restaurants, hung out with the best people, and traveled to the best places. In spite of it all, you still was not happy within. Have you ever been there? Are you there now?
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. Are you at a point in your life where you wonder if God can still use you? Are you a point where no one else believes in your dreams but you? Are you staring at yourself in the mirror trying to figure out why people cannot see the changes in your life? Do you realize there will be times in each of our lives that people will doubt, family will question and the devil will attack? There will be times when all you have to trust in is the Word of God. My friend, If All You Had Was A Praise … would it be enough to get you out of your current situation? The Bible declares in Isaiah 61:3 – To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
My brother, my sister, what are you going through this morning? What situation do you find yourself having to deal with? Has your job become overwhelming? Do you realize when you praise God in the midst of “hell” you are sending a message to the enemy? You are telling him that in spite of how bad things appear your God is still able and willing to see you through. Beloved, If All You Had Was A Praise … could it tear down the enemy’s walls? The Bible declares in Hebrews 13:15 – By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. Child of God, never underestimate the power of your praise. It is the praises of the saints that empower us. God inhabits our praises. If All You Had Was A Praise … make sure it can get you through! Prayer for Today: Father, please make my praise gloriously for You! In the name of Jesus … Amen!
Scripture Reading for Today: Psalms 100:4
