It is a new year again, and I asked the Lord what I should write unto Him today. The Lord reminded me to start the year right. That is to Praise God.
Psalm 150:6 Let every thing that hath breath Praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD
I encourage my readers today to position ourselves right in 2024. Start the year by praising the Lord.
What does Praise actually mean?
Cambridge Dictionary defines praise as honor, worship, and expression of admiration.
I believe the word praise means something different to each of us. Some may take praise for dancing and singing out aloud. Some may take praise as pure worship. Some may even take praise through their music and art.
I asked the Lord, how can I praise you this New Year?
The Holy Spirit spoke deep within me,” You just need to write R.J.As you write, you praise Me. Your notes are your weapon.”
I was taken aback when I suddenly realized all these notes penned down were actually praising the Lord. Admiring the Lord.Worshipping the Lord through these R.J. Inspirational Notes.
The Holy Spirit reminded me that the notes will be elevated to another level this year. The Holy Spirit reminded me to continue writing as the weapon of praise.
What does the Bible actually say? When do we truly praise? In my devotion today, I realized the Lord has many instances in the Bible where he has called his beloved to praise. It is either done personally or corporately. It is either for adoration, worship, or saving us from enemies.
Psalm 21: 13 (NIV); Be exalted in your strength, Lord; we will sing and praise your might
Psalm 18:3 (KJV); I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: So shall I be saved from mine enemies.
Psalm 134: 1-2 (NIV); Praise the Lord, all you servants of the Lord, who minister by night in the house of the Lord. Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise the Lord.
Today I am writing this note knowing these notes are my Weapon of praise.
” I thank you, Lord, for who You are. I praise you, Lord. You are so magnificent. I thank you, Lord. You are the Lord of Generations. I praise you, Lord, You are a miracle-working God. I praise you, Lord, for You are everlasting. I praise you, Lord, for you so magnificent. I praise you, Lord. You are the Lord that heals. I praise you, Lord. You are the Lord that restores. I praise you, Lord. You are the Lord who resurrects dreams. I praise you, Lord; You are my everything. I praise you, Lord. You are the Alpha and Omega of my life.”
Dear readers, take time to Praise God in 2024. Position ourselves to know our everlasting Father. Praising the Lord is our most powerful weapon.
Happy New Year to all my beloved readers.Have the most life-changing experience in 2024 as you praise your way into 2024.The Lord is Good.
