FAITH CAPSULE: What kind of praise do you offer God when you come before him? 

Psalms 34, 146,

Make the right choice and do as God requests to experience His promises.
Acceptable sacrificial praise is full of joy, which glorifies God and accesses His presence where there is joy for evermore. 
God is holy, and he will not respond where there is sin.
When God sent Samuel to go and anoint David, He sent him with what to communicate with Jesse, the father of David. 
1 Samuel 16:5 records, “…I have come to sacrifice to the LORD. Sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice.’ Then he consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.” 
In this communication, it is clear that sanctification comes before sacrifice. 
Once, the children of Israel were to present themselves before God, “So Moses went down from the mountain to the people and sanctified the people, and they washed their clothes. And he said to the people, “Be ready for the third day; do not come near your wives.’” (Exodus 19:14-15) 
Throughout the Bible, approaching God is without sin. 
What kind of praise do you offer God when you come before him? 
Praise is not noise-making, not a performance to draw attention, not in the choice of nice words rooted in beat. 
Praise and thank God for Jesus, who has taken away all sins. 
A believer that will confess with sincere and genuine hearts, in the name of Jesus, praising Him will bring the presence of God because He is God that inhabits the praises of His people.
When God is in your praises, enemies will go missing.
Who should praise God? 
You should sing praises to God while you have your being. 
The Psalmist states, “I will sing praises to the Lord while I have my being.” (Psalm 146:2) 
In the pages of the Bible, it states that those who fear Him should praise Him. 
Praise Him with the voice of joy, harp, and melody; praise Him among the people or in your secret closet. 
Psalm 34:1, “I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” 
Praising God raises one before Him.
Believers should know that God has spoken and laid down His expectations that will generate manifestation. 
God does have a standard for His expectation that He does not lower.
God has a standard for expectation.
When believers seek God diligently, the result will match His promises. 
Coloring the word of God, taking the word of God out of context, or adding to the word of God will only take a believer through emotional moments with no manifestation of expectation.
Praise God is seeking God to find God.
God is a faithful God.
Praise Him to gain and retain His presence.

Prayer for today: Ask God to deal bountifully with you so that you may live and keep His word.
