“From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord’s name is to be praised.” Psalm 113:3

To bless means to praise, honor, reverence and worship God . . . the phrase when praises go up, blessings come down is a welcoming promise to the heart. Haven’t you been truly down and just started to truly meditate and think on the goodness of God, in those moments the heart and soul experiences an unexplainable sweet peace. “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:7.

Jack Taylor’s commentary in his book The Hallelujah Factor; state “When we praise, productivity is maximized, fulfillment is realized, and frustration is neutralized” (p. 31). When we are praising God we are lifted up beyond the immediate cares of this world, and taken into the spiritual realm…there the Holy Spirit guides us in His truth, comforts our hearts, and assures us that all is well . . . therefore we can say, “I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.” Psalms 34:1

Can you say at this very moment that you will praise the Lord in all that you go through? The scripture tells us “From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord’s name is to be praised.” Psalm 113:3. Our praise is not based on whether we need healing in our bodies, or food on our tables… we are admonished to “Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.” Philippians 4:4.

All blessings, honor, and praise belongs to our faithful and Almighty God… He is the One who will deliver, heal, and give us all we need. Tell me, is there anything impossible with God… even when our backs are up against the wall…praise is the ointment that soothes our souls!

The enemy of our souls’ desires to hinder and stop us from giving praise to God…he wants us to focus on the things that seem impossible and hopeless; but we have a hope that is sure…so let us lift our hands and voices; bowing down to worship our merciful and gracious Heavenly Father right now…watch and see won’t He release you of the burden that presses on your heart and give you a peace that no human mind can explain.“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14;27.

God blessings and peace be to all…praise ye the Lord!
