Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise His holy name. Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all His benefits— who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. Psalms 103:1-5 NIV
Praising God with songs of worship, is something we are super passionate about at Gospel Garage! The Bible uses so many different words in reference to praise, when you have a moment look up these verses Holy Spirit shared!
Glorify (Psalm 147:12),
Sing (Psalm 30:12),
Give thanks (Psalm 107:1),
Declare (Philippians 2:11),
Have joy (Psalm 98:4), and so many more!
My friends let’s agree to praise God as often as there are moments! It really doesn’t matter if the week is over scheduled or if you are sailing through a pretty easy season vs struggling through some mud. Praise Him.
I don’t praise because of how I feel, I praise because of Who I believe in - Jesus Christ, and when we praise over our problems like the Bible teaches us to, it always changes the way that we feel and changes the perspectives that had turned our eyes away from Jesus.
Man this is cool! What an eye opener, when we’re able to look beyond our problem and set aside our own way of doing things, we can look to the greater purpose God has laid out in this life. that is to honor Christ as King.
