Praise God Not Your Situation

“…I will praise You with my whole heart; Before the gods I will sing praises to You….”Psalms 138:1 (NKJV)

Beloved, when you go through difficulties, do you talk a lot about the difficulties you are going through? Do you narrate the gravity of the situation everywhere you go? Well, if you are in the habit of doing that, I want you to know that you are giving praise to your situations which shouldn’t be. I know that sometimes, speaking about the things we go through is inevitable, but don’t make it a habit to tell everyone you meet because when you do that, you are singing the praises of that situation unconsciously and of course you know that when it comes to that, the devil is the one taking the credit. 

So rather than sing the praises of your situation, why don’t you sing the praises of God? Instead of magnifying the severity of your situation, why don’t you magnify the mercy and grace of God? Why don’t you talk about how God is helping you in that situation? Just a little adjustment in this area can go a long way to change a lot of things in that situation and position you for victory. So, no matter what the situation may be, I admonish that you focus more on what God is doing for you in that situation and not what the devil is doing. Make a conscious decision that no matter what you face, only God gets the praises and no one else.  Be like the Psalmist who said, “…I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth….” Psalms 34:1 (NKJV). When you live like this, you can be assured of coming out of any situation victoriously. Praise God!

Today’s Rhema

Choose to tell of how God is helping you in that situation and not how the situation is treating you!

Confession for the Day

Father, I thank you because you have done so much for me. It’s because of you, I am not consumed by the situation that I go through, I choose to give you the praises and deny my situation the praises.
