Heart of Praise . . .
In 2014, may we offer up to God a heart of praise:
~ through what Luci Swindoll (I Married Adventure) says,
~"the good times"
~"the bad times"
~"through the planned times"
~"through the unplanned times"
In other words, every day ~ every moment, in all our ways. It's as we have a heart of praise, that we see the greatness of God.
~ His power and might
~ His faithfulness that reaches to the skies
~ His tender love as He carries us
Isaiah 61:3c encourages us to choose the oil of gladness instead of a spirit of despair. Proverbs 15:13,15; 30:17:22 reminds us of the benefits of choosing a cheerful heart.
A cheerful heart:
~ has a happy face
~ has a continual feast
~ is filled with joy
~ is good medicine
In Praying God's Will for Your Life, Stormie Omartian says, "praise softens our hearts and makes them pliable. There is NOTHING that brings greater joy than lips that are filled with praise. "Those who look to Him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame." Psalm 34:5
"Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise - the fruit of lips that confess His name." Hebrews 13:15
