STILL PRAISING GOD
“Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat… Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.â€
Habakkuk 3:17-18
Main Text:
In the natural sense and in our deepest thoughts, if most of our heart desires are not fulfilled as expected, it’s unnatural to tow this line of thought but with all supernatural understanding, God is at His best and has done wonderfully well. There’s nothing happening to us as believers that shouldn’t be a source of praise to the Almighty. In all things, we should learn to be thankful and return all the praise to God the father in whom is no variableness nor shadow of turning.
“I will bless the LORD at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” Psalm 34:1.
God expects on a daily basis our offerings of thanksgiving as the fruits of our lips. Your confession can only be positive if your heart is loaded with praise to God not only when the journey is smooth but in the midst of the rough roads and unexpected twists, turns or stop overs. What you do when the chips are down is proof of what you are made of. The Bible says: “If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.” Proverbs 24:10.
Also consider this, your case is before God as the Judge and with Jesus as your advocate, definitely you are a winner. For this reason, I want you to rejoice and be glad for in all these challenges, your God will arise and make room for you to be blessed and grateful in every way. Beloved, He’s not over with you and as you tuned your spirit man to start praising Him in the midst of this so-called terrible situation, the Lord will raise helpers that will brace you up to your expected height in destiny.
Prayer: O Lord, I receive grace to always appreciate You in every situation
