The secret behind getting through obstacles is pressing your way through with a praise offering. Praising God is not difficult to do. It’s simply giving reverence to God Almighty for all He’s done. This can be done in the form of a dance, song, psalm, musical instrument, hand clap, hum or simply telling God how good and wonderful He is. I enjoy praising God in many different ways, but some do so by simply talking to Him and telling Him thank you. Praising God is not limited to just one particular way. Just learn how to praise God for what He’s done in your own way.
Isaiah 57:19 says, “I will comfort those who mourn, bringing words of praise to their lips. May they have abundant peace, both near and far,” says the Lord, who heals them.”
I encourage you not only to praise God for the good He’s done but also for the difficult times He’s allowing you to go through as well. Now before you think I’m crazy let me explain. Realize you serve a God who is majestic and sovereign. Nothing happening in your life now is ‘news’ or beyond His control. With that being said, God has given you the end story to the situation you’re faced with. He’s told you through scripture that all things work together for good to them that love Him in Romans 8:28.
Notice this verse declares, "all things work together for good to them that love God.” It doesn’t say some things will work out or that it will work out for everyone except you; it says ALL THINGS work together for YOUR good. Your situation may not be good, but it WILL work out for your good. That’s a reason worth praising God for right there!
In closing, there’s something to learn during the midst of a difficult situation although we don’t always see it that way. Often it’s during difficult times that we learn to praise God, how to draw near to God, and how to trust God to be a provider. The situation you’re faced with today was tagged with a solution over 2000 years ago before the foundations of the world. The only thing I encourage you to do is to pray without ceasing, hold steadfast to the Word of God, believe His promises, and to continuously praise God while on your way to victory.
When times are pleasant, praise God! When times are rough start praising God! Your deliverance is in your praise! It’s by praising God with the fruit of your lips you will get through this battle. Now, with that being said give praise to God for the scripture declares in Psalm 150:6, “Let everything that has breath praise the LORD."
