Topic: Created to Praise
Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. – Psalm 150:6
We’re created to praise God. Some people don’t know that. When the praise service starts, they sit back and say, “I’m not comfortable with all that singing and shouting. I guess praise is just not my thing.”
Yes, it is! According to the Bible, you are meant to be praised if you breathe.
And don’t try to slip by saying, “Well, I have praise in my heart.” That’s not enough. The Word says you must also have it in your mouth (Psalms 34:1)! Psalm 132:9 says, “Let thy saints shout for joy.” You can’t shout and be quiet at the same time.
When you first begin to honest praise, it may seem awkward, but if you keep it up, it will become a way of life. Why? Because praise causes the glory of God to manifest in your life. It forces you to walk in the light of His countenance (Psalms 89:15). It will start a revival inside you!
“But, Gloria, if I start to praise like that, people will think I’m some kind of fanatic.”
Well, good! Did you know that every revival in history has been started by people the world considered absolute fanatics? God does things differently than the world. So when you set aside your inhibitions and start letting His Spirit operate through you, you’re going to look strange to those who are strangers to His ways…but you’re going to look glorious to the Lord!
And, by the way, think of something other than praising Him in the congregation. Praise Him in your own private prayer time and throughout your day. Learn to maintain an attitude of praise and thanksgiving. When praise becomes natural to you in your personal life, it won’t be difficult to praise Him amid the congregation.
Are you longing for a revival of God’s presence in your life? Are you tired of just hearing about the glorious manifestations of His power in the past? Then open your mouth and heart and do what God has created you. Praise!

Ambydennis Notice Board: We trust you have been blessed by the devotional. Accepting Jesus as your Lord and personal Savior is one of the best decisions, especially for you; imagine having Christ in your life; what a fantastic experience it will be. It starts here as you proclaim: Dear Father, I humbly come to you in sincere repentance, claiming you as my Lord and personal Saviour. Cleanse me from all unrighteousness, be the center of my life, and let my life revolve around you as I partake in the eternal life you gave us in Jesus’ Name. Congratulations, you are now Born again. God bless you.
