Heb 13:15-16
15 Therefore, let us offer through Jesus a continual sacrifice of praise to God, proclaiming our allegiance to his name.
NLT
Let us offer through Jesus a continual sacrifice of praise to God, this kind of continual never ending praise is a sacrifice because many times the flesh might not feel like doing it, but we praise God in the spirit because we walk in the spirit and not in the flesh.
One of the things praising God does for us is that it helps us acknowledge God and proclaim our allegiance to Him. When we thank God for everything, we are acknowledging Him as our source in life.
God has called us into His glorious light, the darkness in the world may tend to sometimes distract the people of God such that they temporarily forget who they are and therefore not walk in the light. One of the things consciously praising God through Jesus does to our souls is that it reminds us constantly of who God is and therefore reminds us of who we are; this is how the power of God within us is released. The reason is because the lord inhabits the praises of His people (see Psalm 22:3). Praise is a vehicle through which God comes and invades the human realm for His people.
Go into today determined to praise God through Jesus at all times and in all situations.
Prayer: thank you heavenly father for today. Dear lord I ask that you give me the grace to praise and worship you at all times. Fill my heart also with your joy. In Jesus name I pray. Amen
