Bible Verse of The Day – 8-23-19

Psalm 86:12 (NKJV) 12 I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I will glorify Your name forevermore.

Have you ever known that you needed to praise God, but you just didn’t feel like it?

Many people might read that and think about being in a church service and praising God corporately, as a large group. And while that’s the typical setting, this is more about praising God individually, one-on-one.

Sometimes we can feel down. Maybe we’re disappointed about something that happened (or didn’t happen).

Maybe we have been dealt a blow somehow that has us a bit mad at God, even though it wasn’t His fault.

Often times we let our emotions dictate how and when we praise Him, or whether we praise Him at all.

But here’s the thing. Our worship and praise for God isn’t meant to be based on how we feel. Not at all.

God wants us to worship Him in spirit and in truth, not based on our emotions or our intellect.

John 4:24 (NKJV) 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

So, no matter how we’re feeling, up, down or somewhere in between, we need to give God our adoration and praise!

Are we feeling sick? Are we disappointed? Are we angry about something? Are we in trouble? Are we in intense pain? Are we stressed? Are we under pressure?

It doesn’t matter. Regardless of what we’re going through, we need to praise our God with everything in us.

He is worthy of our praise, morning, noon and night, no matter how we feel.

Praise Him, saints of God!
