It's A Choice

Praising God is always a choice. Whether on a mountain, in a valley, a desert, or a wilderness place, it is what needs to be flowing from our lips.

There are many benefits to praising God with every step we take. Praising God keeps our thoughts and focus on him. It keeps our attitudes filled with thanksgiving. As our hearts overflow with praise, songs of deliverance then flow too. Praise is what causes us to continue dancing through the most difficult circumstances.

Is 61:3 speaks about putting on "a garment of praise for the spirit of despair". When you begin to praise Jesus, darkness has no choice but to flee. Praise brings you into the presence of God, and in the presence of God, no demon can stand! God inhabits our praises, it is where he is, and where he longs to be.

Set backs are nothing for God - nothing! God is in control! Nothing is impossible for God - no nothing! Praise springs forth because we trust God at his word and because we walk (and speak) by faith and not by sight. We choose to praise God before we even see his hand at work - we praise because we know his hand will work.

This is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it! I choose to praise!
