IN CASE OF EMERGENCY: PRAISE

How will you get through your darkest days? ~ The ones that don't make it to social media: when all you want to do is crawl up in a ball and have a good cry? ~ The Bible says to praise God in those moments. But how is that possible? To praise when you feel like nothing is worth celebrating? ~ Yet: praise is the secret that unlocks the grip of fear & hopelessness in us. ~ Praise when you feel like raging? ...Another totally counter-cultural concept that makes the Bible the most groundbreaking & relevant life-manual ever. ~ It's in the praising (thanking God for who He is, and how He has rescued you in the past), that the light of His presence shines through you as you declare His goodness. ~ This glorifies and amplifies Jesus, which enables you to laugh about your circumstances (as you realize His power). ~ Author S. Young explains it this way, "When you worship Jesus, you connect with Him in a powerful way that transcends time and circumstances. Praising draws you into the depths of His presence, where you can glimpse His power & glory." ~ Don't let those dark days sink you, praise instead and let His light fill you. ~ Psalm 59:17 "O my Strength, I will sing praises to you, for you, O God, are my fortress, the God who shows me steadfast love." ~
