I Will Praise
By
Pastor Debra Tate
One of the ways you can always tell if a person is a true believer in Jesus Christ is when you see them constantly praising the Lord, without variation or change, and in every case God is getting the glory. This is the direction I want to go in my life for 2013, I will praise, I will praise God for no reason except He is God.
I will be a person who will praises the Lord by giving the Lord homage, which is another name for giving someone respectful, and deference, which can be a courteous expression (by word or deed). I will Praise the Lord with adoration, which is a feeling of profound love and admiration. I will praise God, giving Him thanks, in either prayer or in song; praise is a strong expression of tremendous degree, of extented joy in the God who has given us His son Jesus.
Exodus 15:1-2 King James Version
Chapter 15
Moses' song
1. Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
2 The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.
Ex 15:1-2 (KJV)
20. And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
21. And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
Ex 15:20-21 (KJV)
Psalms 35:18
18. I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.
19. Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
Psalms 35:18-19 (KJV)
I know for me, in the past, when I would give God the praise it was always for the things God has done for me; often looking back and remembering what all God had done for me gives me the strength to known and believe all that God is doing now, then again I like to praise God for what I know He will do for me in the future. My praise is part of my worship; part of my life style since I have become a believer in Christ Jesus. 2013 I will just praise Him for no reason at all, I will praise. What about you?
