I love praising. I am definitely a singer and dancer for the Lord. And I truly believe that wherever a person is in their relationship with God they should praise Him. If you believe that He died for you then that alone should move the soul to praise. I believe there is a break through when we look past our problems, our inadequacies, and our limitations. God wants to meet us at our place of need and there is something to be said for the person who understands the power in praise. Praise loosens strongholds, praise sets us free, praise lifts us up!
Dancing and singing unto the Lord in front of my children is one of the most important things I can do. Not everyone praises the same way and that is fine, but please do praise in some way. To praise God, especially in the midst of hardship is to fight adversity the most powerful way possible. In Ephesians 6:12 we read: For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. So what I get from this scripture is that I cannot fight my problems with my fists, my words, my anger. So how can I fight? With my praise because Jesus has already won the battle!
When the time comes that my three precious daughters are fighting their own battles, I want to rest assured that I've taught them the most supreme way to victory; Praise!! Let us be conscious of the way we go about our days for the sake of our children. Lord, let me not say to my children that God is a God of wonder and awesomeness, but then they not see me having a spirit of thanksgiving. May my children praise YOU until they are with you, 100 years from now (or in Your perfect time)... =)
Praise The Lord Your God.................
