Scripture Reading: Psalms 34:1-10
Devotional: “I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth” (V. 1)
Time in the presence of God is always a time to worship and praise the Lord. The time spent with God is not only for us but also for God. Therefore, it is first a time to bless the Lord with our praise and worship. If the door of the throne room of God will be widely open to us, then we must know that praises and worship are the password (Psalms 100:4)
The Psalmist said, “I will bless the Lord at all times and His praises shall continually be in my mouth”. Every time you want to be sure that the presence of God is with you, you must learn to praise Him. That is why you don’t have to do that once a while. It is a thing of every time.
Also, whenever you are alone with the Lord, you must access the throne room of God with praises. Don’t be too anxious of your needs to the point of starting your communication with God with the needs. Therefore, a fellowship time in His presence should always start with praises. This is because He is doing so much for you already. He is your healer, your protection, your deliverer from all evil agenda; He is your help in trouble. So, learn to thank Him for what He is doing before presenting other needs. Heaven can always have His presence because they are always praising God (Psalms 22:3). As you praise Him often, He will not even let you ask before doing things for you sometimes. Peace.
PRAYER: Lord, let your praises always fill my mouth
“IF YOU CAN BE PRAISEFUL, YOU WILL NOT BE EMPTY”
