Throughout the Bible we see people that saw the power of God and walked in victory when they refused to allow circumstances of life to stop their praise.
The Apostle Paul discovered the power that praise could release while chained in prison. Paul encouraged the Philippians:
Philippians 4:4 “Rejoice in the Lord always: and again, I say, rejoice!”
When you put your trust in God, rejoicing is not very difficult. Once you believe in Jesus, even though you do not see Him, your heart will be filled with a joy that cannot be put into words.
1 Peter 1:8 says,“You love Jesus even though you have never seen Him. Though you do not see Him now, you trust Him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy.”
Just think about all that Jesus means to you and to the world and take time to let the joy out. Refuse to allow the cares of this life to steal your praise.
Remember, 1 Peter 2:9 says,“You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.”
You were created to rejoice!
