There are different types of sacrifice. And I will be delving into them for the next few days. Today I want to talk about the SACRIFICE OF PRAISE. What is it?
Hebrews 13:15 By him, therefore, let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
There are times in our lives when, well lets face it, we don't want to praise God. We just don't feel like it. What we are going through is just too hard. And to praise God during those times just costs us too much. Or so it I think many of us feel during those times.
However, these are the times when we most need to continually be praising God for his goodness. God wants us to praise him from a worshipful heart in good times and not so good times. Praising him brings us to his very throne if we are sincere in it. It comes from a humble heart. From a choice that we are going to praise and honor him no matter what we may be going through.
And why should we offer this to him? Well, to be sure, when we are praising God it takes our minds away from the problems we are facing at the time, and puts them in a higher place. It takes us to God and that my friends is what the sacrifice of praise does.
Joke of the day:
A kindergarten teacher gave her class a “show and tell” assignment. Each student was instructed to bring in an object to share with the class that represented their religion.
The first student got up in front of the class and said, “My name is Benjamin and I am Jewish and this is a Star of David.”
The second student got up in front of the class and said, “My name is Mary. I’m a Catholic and this is a Rosary.”
The third student got in up front of the class and said, “My name is Tommy. I am Baptist, and this is a casserole.”
Friends, I am glad you came by again today. Please be blessed and share them with others. Until tomorrow......
