I will exalt You, my God the King
\nI will praise Your name forever and ever.
\nEvery day I will praise You and extol Your name forever and ever.
\nPsalms 145:1-2 NIV<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In this psalm<\/a> I am able to see that we need to praise the Lord at all times despite our adversaries that are in this life. \u00a0Ignoring the works of the devil while praising God makes the devil want to give up on us.<\/p>\n

What is<\/em> unceasing praise?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Revelations 4:8 says, \u201cEach of the four creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around even under his wings. \u00a0Day and night they never stop saying: \u2018Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty who was and is and is to come.\u2019<\/p>\n

If the four creatures were able to say \u2018Holy Holy Holy,\u2019 what more you and I who are created in His very own image\u2014us who were given dominion over the creatures? \u00a0He gave us the power over things. \u00a0And here the same creatures are saying \u2018Holy Holy Holy!\u2019 (How about us<\/strong>?) \u00a0I feel ashamed when sometimes a day passes without being able to praise the Lord in the name of being busy. \u00a0Praise has to come from deep down in our heart. \u00a0It has to be a daily thing to do and a thing that we need to love to do. \u00a0Let us therefore choose to praise the Lord at all times.<\/p>\n

Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea
\nand all that is in them singing: \u2018To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
\nbe praise and honor and glory and power for ever and ever.\u2019
\nRevelations 5:13<\/p>\n

Praise the Lord forever! In Psalm 35:28 we read,<\/p>\n

My tongue will speak of Your righteousness and of Your praises all day long.<\/p>\n

The birds of the air are able to praise God; what more you and I?<\/p>\n

I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
\nPsalm 104:33<\/p>\n

Praise can only done when you are alive. Let us give the best to our Lord now while we are alive. If we die it becomes another issue altogether. Let us make best use of our time to praise the Lord.<\/p>\n

*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0~ \u00a0 \u2665 \u00a0 ~\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u271e\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0~ \u00a0\u2665 \u00a0 ~ \u00a0 * <\/span><\/p>\n

Father, I thank You for Your answers to prayer always and for the revelations each time I come to You. Lord, You are indeed worthy! Glory and honor be unto You. Father, give us the grace to praise You more each day and without ceasing forever and ever. \u00a0I pray for an intimate relationship with You, Lord. \u00a0Let Your Presence saturate us with Your anointing always. \u00a0In Jesus\u2019 name. \u00a0Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
