Praise God in All Circumstances

 "I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth." Psalm 34:1 (NKJV)


Praising God at all times is like acknowledging His presence and power in every moment of life. Whether in joy or sorrow, in success or struggle, praise keeps us connected to Him. It's easy to offer praise when everything is going well, but true faith shines when we can still thank God in difficult times.

From today's Word, the phrase "at all times" means that God’s praises should be in our mouths even during trials. David wrote this psalm after going through difficult times, yet he still chose to praise God. This teaches us that praise and worship should not be seasonal but constant, just as the Bible says in 1 Thessalonians 5:18: "In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."

The Bible shows that the mouth holds great power to create or destroy, as written in Proverbs 18:21: "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit."

Your mouth should be filled with words of hope and positivity, especially when facing difficult times. Because in Romans 10:10 says: "For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation."

If you are going through hardship, make sure your mouth is filled with God’s praise as Ephesians 5:19-20 says:
"Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."

The Bible teaches us that even in dark times, a person who trusts in God will use their mouth to offer praise and thanksgiving. This fills you with spiritual strength and hope because a mouth filled with praise invites God's presence into difficult situations. Psalm 22:3 says that God "inhabits the praises of His people," meaning that when we continue to praise Him, God reveals Himself in His power and provides the help we need.

In every season, praise is a way to honor God and invite His presence into our lives. So, let your heart always be filled with praise, for in doing so, you will find strength, peace, and a deeper connection to God.

Prayer: Oh Lord, I ask You through the power of Your Holy Spirit to enable me to praise and worship You at all times so that Your presence and power may accompany me. Amen.

Are You With The Right People?

Pursue righteous living…Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.” 2 Timothy 2:22   If you want to be in God’s will and experience His blessings, you have to be around the right people. The people who are right for you are the people who will be honest with you. They don’t just tell you what you want to hear, but they tell you what you need to hear. “Faithful are the wounds of a friend.” (Proverbs 27:6). Good friends are not afraid to confront you.   Get around the right people because everybody who comes into your life brings a spirit. Sometimes, it is easy to gravitate to people we can relate to and who are similar to us. But the problem with that is, if you both share the same weaknesses, you will not grow in that area. You need to get around someone who is strong in the areas where you are weak. They know how to help get you to where you want to be.   In 2 Chronicles 10, Rehoboam had just been appointed king. Some of the leaders of Israel met w

How Are Your Management Skills? (Part 1)

  “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’” Matthew 25:21   The way you manage your money will determine how much God will trust you with it. In Matthew 25, a wealthy man entrusted his finances to some of his servants. He gave them each certain amounts, and when he returned, he found that some had used the money to make more money, but one servant had just hidden his in the ground. The master (who represents God) was very unhappy with this servant and called him “lazy and wicked” and even took away the little he had been entrusted with.   The master was happy with the others because no matter the amount they had been entrusted with, they used what was given to them and increased it. The servant, who was given only one bag of gold, made the decision to bury it. God expects you to use what He has given you to be a productive person. Even if you ju

Choose love over judgment

"I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.” Galatians 2:21 NKJV   The message today is clear and very brief. God reminds us that our righteousness is not attained through our actions but by faith in Jesus Christ. If our righteousness is obtained by faith and not by deeds, why do we judge each other? Why do we point fingers? Why do we gossip? The mouths of Christians have become very quick to judge others when they make mistakes. Let's not judge others, especially when they make mistakes. Remember that the weaknesses you judge in others, you also have, and often yours are worse than those you judge. The word of God says, "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Matthew 7:1-2."   Secondly, let's not consider ourselves righteous and better than others. The word of God says, "for all
