THE POWER OF PRAISE

“For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the Lord made the heavens. Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.” (Psalm 96:4-6)

Have you ever watched too many news talk shows, seen too many violent images of terrorism, or read about injustice, and felt discouraged? It happens, and discouragement can lead to a sense of being overwhelmed by the problems surrounding all of us. Fortunately, God has given us a way to keep our spirits hopeful, in spite of the bad news everywhere. The path to a healthier soul is praise. Praising God not only honors God, it lifts our spirits, too.
