Praise Your Way Through!!

 Are we being real with ourselves?  Do we really trust God?  We say we do, but our praise reflects something else.  We are living in a time were we want God to be a “Right Now”, “Jeannie in a Bottle” God.  Yes, God is still in the miracle business, but we tend to take Him for granted.  We won’t even thank Him for allowing us to see another day, although we laid in the image of death. Instead, we would thank Quartz for making the alarm clock.  COME ON NOW!!!  God is always on time!  His time is not our time. He is the same today, tomorrow, and eternity.  We age in each breath we take.   However, He created us in His image to worship.  NOT, a tainted worship, but a TRUE WORSHIP!!  1 John 4: 23-24 [(23) But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in “spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. (24) God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship Him in spirit and truth.]  You can’t hate your neighbor and expect God to accept your praise.  We must consecrate ourselves and sustain from wickedness.  “I” is in the middle of HIM.  When you repent and surrender your all, and “I” is in HIM, you can get your break through.  YOUR VICTORY IS IN YOUR PRAISE!!  Hard times wouldn’t be so hard if we have fervent prayer and praise.  Psalms 34:1 [I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.]  God will take care of His chosen people.  1 Peter 2:9 [But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.]    It gives Him joy to see and hear His most precious creation on one accord worshipping and praising Him.  PRAISE YOUR WAY THROUGH DAILY GOOD OR BAD!!  We are in the midst of spiritual warfare.  We are reminded in 1 Peter 5:8 to be sober and vigilant.  Keeping our minds stayed on Jesus, enabling us by the aide of the Holy Spirit to alertly watch for and avoid obstacles that will try to overtake us.  God never puts on us more than we can bare.  1 Peter 3:14 [But and if you suffer for righteousness sake, happy are ye; and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled.]  In the midst of your suffering and trials, always Stop, Drop and Roll.  Stop and collect your bearings; Drop to your knees and pray; Roll out a victorious praise.  The only hands, eyes and voice of God unbelievers hear and see are ours.  The most powerful witness to them would be to see a child of God suffering and still maintaining their witness for Christ and the fruit of praise on their lips.  TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!
