MESSAGE
Can you number the hairs on your head? Can you pay for the air that you breathe in? Can you number the stars in the sky? Can you control the weather? Definitely, your answer to these questions is a capital NO! If this is so, then you have no reason not to praise God. God, in His wisdom, has made provision for these things to support our existence here on earth.
Praise should be a powerful response of the heart expressing joy, gratitude and the desire for communion with our Lord. In addition to praising God with our songs and musical instruments, we can praise God with a life of love and joy, with spiritual hunger for His kingdom and His righteousness.
In good times, praise God. In bad times, praise God. Praise God always. That is the only way you can show God that you believe and trust Him. When you appreciate God for what He has done yesterday, He will do more for you today. Don’t be ungrateful. Praise the Lord always.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, give me power to praise You always.

3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
