Praise Transforms

Long ago, back in the good ol' days of church, I used to sing a song that to me was just power,  "In EVERYTHING Give Thanks." That song was just pure power. No matter what you are going through... No matter what trials are after you... No matter what illness ails you,  GIVE THE LORD THANKS!

"In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning YOU."

~ 1 Thessolonians 5:18

Rejoice in the Lord always, for as you rejoice and give thanks, you release heaven's treasures and shower upon your head the blessings of a delighted Father. Nothing so thoroughly delights the Father's heart as the praises of His Children. For praise exercises the heart toward gratitude, and gratitude nurtures contentment, and you may know for a certainty that no fruit ever appears on the tree of discontent.

"So praise, my children, and never cease in your praising, for in the midst of it I will manifest Myself, and you will understand that when I demand of you your praises it is for your highest good."

Out of praises come courage, faith, strength, optimism, clarity and peace. Out of praises come health, happiness, and the soul satisfaction men seek in the world and do not find. Praise will transform the humblest dwelling to a hallowed haven. It will light the countenance and make the plainest face beautiful. It is impossible for the man who has learned unceasing praise to be a failure. God's blessing attends his path, and God's Spirit rule his heart. He is eternally at peace with both God and man.
