Praising God With Passion
Thursday, June 22, 2023Key Verse
“Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power” (Psalm 150:1).
Text — Psalm 150:1-6
Message
The excellency of God is aroused through passionate praises, and He reacts by doing wonders. Herod the tetrarch, an earthly leader, was aroused to the point that he gave opportunity to his daughter for an open request of whatsoever she desired. This was because she thrilled him and his audience with her dance. Her desire was granted despite how tough it was. If an earthly leader could do such, how much more the King of Kings when aroused by the passionate praises of His children.
A young boy had an accident that got his leg fractured and was billed to be operated on. Dreams and aspirations seemed in jeopardy! His siblings and parents resorted to passionate prayer and praise . On the D-day of surgery, the surgeon examined the current X-ray, and discovered the miraculous coming together of the bones and cancelled the surgery. The young boy is walking perfectly and bouncing today! Friends, there is no limit to what God can do through passionate praises. God is still in the business of doing wonders if we really render sincere praises to Him.
Quote
