Psalm 34:2 “I will glory in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and rejoice!”
HIS Provisions of Praise!
Deep within lay such reservoirs — teeming — with HIS thanksgiving praise to be shared.
Rivers of worship found boundlessly gathered thus wait for release through the air!
So shout to the LORD WHO prepared us for Rapture with souls who — HIS NAME — shall declare!
As HIServant singing out loud with the saints to the glory of our GOD,
Whitney
Devotional: Acts 16:25 “Now toward midnight, Paul and Silas praying, were singing praises to GOD. And the prisoners were listening to them.”
Paul and Silas were in a dungeon-like prison with rats and poor water and provisions.
Yet they sang praises to the LORD GOD.
The Joy of the LORD is an often untapped wellspring within CHRISTians whose default belief is that praise can only be lifted in good times.
How partial a viewpoint given these verses!
People are listening every second.
Prisoners of their own doubts, fears and negative circumstances sit in pitiful silence.
They wallow in needless misery since HIS instructions are to praise HIM at all times.
Psalm 35:28 “My tongue will proclaim YOUR righteousness, YOUR praises all day long!”
So lift up your voice, all ye broken! Pull from HIS worship resources deep within you and shout to the LORD!
Amen and amen!
