We all hear that we should praise God everyday… What does it mean, and when should we praise God?
Praising God is not just praising God, there is much more to it… Very interesting if you think about it…
One of my favorite movies is “Facing the Giants”. The reason for this is:
- In the beginning of the movie they were all there for their own agendas, but due to supernatural intervention from their coach, they all were united in one mission as a team.
- They made a bold proclamation to praise God while succeeding and while failing, but always doing their best… This they did and they reaped the reward when they faced the Giants, which was a team 3 times the size of their team.
What I learned was that praising God is a choice…. We can choose to praise God…
As for me at one stage God told me that I need to praise Him more, this was in the midst of a lot of school work a year ago… I was working from 8am to 5pm, after which I still needed to do homework and study… Yet God said: “Praise me”
I know that sounded weird… How does God speak to you? This I will post about soon.. For now, I sometimes hear Him but mostly I see visions, or a part of a song pops up which is for me… I am an artist, which means forms of art speak best to me.
I did not know how to praise God at that stage, but all I felt to do was thank God for what I have… This took the burden off immediately and I could breathe again…
Praising God sounds like this holy thing that takes place in certain times of the week, but in actuality all it is, is a choice to focus on the good instead of the bad.
Lets instead of worrying about tomorrow, start praising God for what we have today… I believe a time has come where we have to choose to say thank you instead of hiding and moaning about everything that has gone wrong in our lives… We are here for a time like this…
God bless, remember praising God is a choice…
