Psalm 113

Praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord, you His servants; 

Praise the name of the Lord.

Let the name of the Lord be praised,

Both now and forevermore.

From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets,

The name of the Lord is to be praised.

The Lord is exalted over all the nations, 

His glory above the heavens.

Who is like the Lord our God, 

The One who sits enthroned on high,

Who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth?

He raises the poor from the dust 

And lifts the needy from the ash heap,

He seats them with princes,

With princes of His people.

He settles the childless woman in her home as a happy mother of children.

Praise the Lord.

The best way to achieve victory in your life begins with praising God. He is worthy of our praise, and when we praise, we are reminded of what a mighty God we serve! If we get in the habit of praising God night and day, regardless of our circumstances, how much different do you think our lives would be and the lives of those around us?  The best way to keep from having that heavy, heavy heart is to keep your heart and mind fixed on Him.

Reminding yourself of who God is every day, morning and night, will change your perspective every day of your life!  That is why we are called to praise him every single day, all day long, because He deserves our praise and He wants us to remind ourselves and those around us of who He is, so we will trust Him and have the faith we need for any occasion that arises!  Nothing is too difficult for our God, so praise Him in those storms and praise Him on that mountaintop and remind everyone around you of how great He is!  Just try it for a day, a week, a month ~ put on some praise and worship music or just pray and praise Him for who He is and watch how your relationship and your trust in Him grow! 

Quote:  “Worship is more than singing beautiful songs in church on a Sunday.  It is more than instruments and music.  As a true worshipper, your heart will long to worship Him at all times, in all ways and with all your life.” ~ Darlene Zschech
