ONLY PRAISE HIM
Psalm 100

When there is understanding in our calling the name of God to give praise, He will raise us above challenges of the wicked. King David was speaking from his life time experiences when he testified, “I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praise; So shall I be saved from my enemies.” (2 Samuel 22:4) David understood quite well what it meant to be constantly praising God. He knew what he was saying when he mentioned enemies. Praise will stop every hand of enemies not just enemy. Every enemy that confronts us on a daily basis requires constant praise for them to fall down flat. Through the Bible, there were numbers of war that were fought just by praising God that is worth of praise. Praising Him is not in the mouth, but in the heart through the mouth. David was confessing the kind of praise that delivers him from every hand of his enemies. Is your praise rooted in the heart? The praise that provokes the hand of God is the praise that is embedded with understanding. Psalm 47:7, “For God is the King of all the earth: sing praise with understanding.” Have you been singing your praise with understanding? The understanding that you have in praising God is the one that will carry you into His court. Access into His court will give you an edge over every area of life. Praise is power, if you will be constant and consistent in praising Him, you will be constant and consistent in being raised by God. Psalm 100, “Enter into His gates with thanks giving, And into His courts with praise, Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.” It is clear that thanksgiving will get all that call on Him into His gates, but praise is what will actually get man into His court. Praising God has won battles and also creates ways where there was no way. Once in the journey of the children of Israel to the Promised Land, they encountered a wall of hindrance. It was the wall of Jericho. The wall did not just come down, but it came down flat when the praise began to get to heaven. Praising God can never be too much. Praise Him when you’re going out and praise Him when you’re coming in. Praising God in the morning, afternoon and night will get a believer into the presence of God. God inhabits the praises of His people. Psalm 22:3, But you are holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel.” What will it cost you to let praising Him be your only language as you enter into a new day, and a new week? Constantly praising God is what will make all the difference in every walk of life. Praise the Lord!!

Prayer for today: I ask O Lord for the grace to be constant in praising your gracious and merciful name.
