The Obedience of Praise
My last post talked about the importance of trust and obedience. Yesterday I read a line which said, “Resignation, acceptance to My Will, obedience to it, have not the power to vanquish evil as praise has” (from God Calling by A.J. Russell). I believe that, if we are walking in wholehearted obedience to the will of God, satan won’t have a grip on us. However, I’ve been pondering praise and it hit me this afternoon that praise is part of obedience. You will never be out of God’s will to praise Him. How you do it may vary but it is always proper to praise Him in all places and circumstances.
Prayer and praise are the two things God continues to call me to move forward in every year, and this is another of those times. Although primarily He’s still speaking trust and obedience, there is also drawing near to God through prayer and praise. Nothing else can usher you into His presence as quickly as those two elements. No matter what you are going through, don’t forget to praise God today.
