Non-Stop Praise

Non-Stop Praise

“Therefore, let us offer through Jesus a continual sacrifice of praise to God, proclaiming our allegiance to his name” (Hebrews 13:15, NLT).

Praise is more than just singing songs in church. In fact, praise isn’t even about singing songs! Praise is a heart attitude. Praise in your heart is what prompts singing, but it can also be manifest in many different ways. Your words, your actions, your daily life are all ways you give Him praise. Like the verse says, when your actions or words declare your allegiance to His Name, that’s giving God praise. How do your actions declare your allegiance to Him? By simply obeying His Word. When we continually follow His commands, even when it’s uncomfortable, even when we don’t feel like it, even when we are tired, that’s offering a sacrifice of praise to Him.

Remember, praise is a powerful weapon. Many times in the Old Testament, when God’s people would go into battle, they would send the worshipers out first. Praise precedes the victory. When you live a life that offers Him continual praise, you will see continual victory in every area of your life!

Praise is what we do when we need a break through…

So, Hallelujah! In his place of worship,

Hallelujah! Under the open skies;

Hallelujah! For all his acts of power,

Hallelujah! For his magnificent greatness;

Hallelujah! While walking and running

Hallelujah! While eating food,

Hallelujah! While driving the car;

Hallelujah! While dancing and singing,

Hallelujah! While working and resting;

Hallelujah! When the money is low and the bills are high,

Hallelujah! When the trial comes and the tears are flowing.

Let every living, breathing creature say Hallelujah!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Father in heaven, I do offer You continual praise. I choose to follow Your Word so that You may be glorified through me. Let everything within me honor You in all that I do. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

"Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable,

whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely,

whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and

if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The

things you have learned and received and heard and seen

in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be

with you." Philippians 4:8-9
