Day 5: Praise: The Secret to Joy

At times there is deep sacrifice in praise. Sometimes we must praise God through tears, pain and suffering. I am sure there is nothing more precious to God than the praises that come from a life undergoing suffering. Praise lifts our eyes from our circumstances to our Almighty Father, who is Ruler over all things. Not one circumstance can come into our lives without His permission. Romans 8:28 tells us God has ways of causing our circumstances to work together for His glory and our good. Whatever situations you are facing today — many of which are not your own choosing — praise the Lord. Whenever the clouds of darkness begin to hide God’s loving face, praise is the quickest way through to His glorious light again. We will study God’s Word to see how we can see His unlimited power at work when we choose to praise Him in the times of adversity. When we clothe ourselves in the garment of praise, we will be armed and dangerous and the enemy will have to flee.
