PRAISE GOD AT ALL TIMES

Ps 34:1 I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
 
There are those who praise God when everything is going on well. But when things turn sour, no praises. Most people will praise God when everything is rolling well. But not so many people will praise God in difficult moments, when in the natural there seems to be no reason to praise God; this is why praising God ought to be done by faith because faith is not of the senses.

Hab 3:17-19 says “Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: 18 Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. 19 The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places.”

When Paul and Silas were thrown into prison for no just cause, they had no reason to praise God but they did it anyway. They went against their feelings and praised God. And as they were offering this sweet smelling praise to heaven, God started tapping His feet and there was an earthquake, and the chains fell off, their bands loosed and the prison doors flung opened. Yet they did not run because that’s not why they were praising God.

These folks simply loved God and they were giving Him quality praise. God just tapped His foot while they were praising Him and there was an earthquake. If we will praise God even in difficult times, not just for the sake of deliverance, but giving God genuine and quality praise, we will see the power of God in manifestation. I believe something magnificent always happens anytime we praise God.

I pray and praise God. When I praise God the difference is so clear. It is so different, but at the same time I am not undermining the power of prayer. But praise is a higher walk in Christ. Psalm 22:3 says, But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. God does not release angels when we praise Him; rather He comes and fill our praise. And when God descends in our praise, all kinds of things begin to happen.
