Praise as a Hope Motivator
14 But as for me, I shall always have hope; I will praise you more and more.
15 My mouth will tell of your righteousness, of your salvation all day long, though I know not it measure.Psalm 71:14-15
One of the greatest misconceptions concerning praise is that it is something we do for God. However, nothing could be further from the truth, God does not need our praise, but certainly, He desires it. He knows when life takes an unexpected turn towards sorrow or when a serious illness lingers for months or years.
Praise has the ability to lighten our hearts and fill us with a sense of love and security that can only come from one place (heaven's throne).
Praise is the only power that can move you from your low state to a higher level. When you are helpless, hopeless, worthless and miserable, praise has the power to move you and elevate you by boosting your faith in God.
Praise teaches us to be joyful and thankful regardless of our circumstances. It prepares us for God's service and helps us to see beyond our present circumstances to the immense possibilities that are ours through faith in Jesus.
You may feel like though you cannot praise God at the time sorrow sets in and when life problems overwhelm you , but if you just take a step towards praise you will sense God's arms surrounding you.
Lord, please incline my heart to always praise you even in the face of the storms of life in Jesus' name... (AMEN!)
The 'Hope Beckons' series started last year as a way to motivate as many as possible through the Holy Scripture(Bible) with prayers to accompany each series. Hope Beckons series aim at giving hope to everyone out there. It is the needed capsule to inspire us to greatness by standing on the promises of God.
Addition to the 'Hope Beckons' Series
This year, I intend to make the 'Hope Beckons' series more inspiring and cheerful by introducing: 'Hope Beckons - Share&Care. Hope Beckons- Share&Care will only feature every mid-week(Wednesday) as an act of kindness to my followers on the Hope Beckons series.
The modalities to participate for the 'Hope Beckons - Share&Care' are under way and would be communicated to us in due time.
God Bless!
