Strength in Praise!

When we choose to praise the Lord (Hallelujah!), we choose to believe there is power and strength to see us through the toughest times in our lives. we choose to stake our all upon God's Almightiness and His promises on whom He say He is. we choose to take our eyes away from our circumstances, our weaknesses, our struggles, our disappointments, our discouragements, our speechlessness, and fixed them on the Lord who says He loves us, who says His love is better than life itself.

It is this revelation that revealed my weakness and my lack of strength, vigour in my personal walk with God. It is this revelation that revealed to me i have backslided to become religious in my dealings with God. It is this revelation that reminded me that i have stopped walking with God's strength, i have stopped relying on God's wisdom and guidance. It is also this revelation that resurrected a desire, a hunger for His presence, His word and revering His name.

I thank God for this reminder in this season. I believe not only for myself, but for all of us too. Let us come before the Lord again with a heart of gratitude filled with thanksgivings for all things that God has given in our lives, going against murmurings, complains and discontentment. Let us come before God with praises that arises from the heart of thanksgivings, let our beings be filled with praises for God's goodness, faithfulness and holiness. Let the praises that flow from our heart unto the Lord gives us the strength to stand firm on God's words, see the power of praises that can breakthrough our stagnation, our circumstances, our mindsets, our discouragements, our weakness and lack of faith.
With that transformation taking place inside us, our prayers will come alive. they will no longer be a string of words, no longer be a routine, but they will be an aroma before the throne of God.

祷告赞美感恩 goes hand in hand, they never separate.

As written by Apostle Paul in Colossians 3:15-16, let us learn to be thankful. Let us allow the word of Christ dwell in us richly......, and let our hearts be filled with gratitude to God as we sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs.
