In the course of our journey on earth, we are bound to face challenges (John 16:33). This is because for every action there will always be a reaction. But Jesus instructs us that we should not allow the reactions to intimidate us. We should rather rejoice all through (James 1:2). In praises, we will employ the forces of God for our change.
Paul and Silas were greatly resisted in Macedonia. They were terribly persecuted. They were beaten with strives and they were put into a prison. It was a terrible experience, just for preaching the gospel. At midnight, they prayed and later began to sing. This is a heart that is not offended in God. (Matthew 11:6). Because they were singing praises, the Lord stepped into the prison, there was an earthquake, the prison doors were opened and everyone’s bound were loosed.
Friend, instead of murmuring in that situation turn to praises. Praises will bring the presence of God to rescue you (Psalm 22:3). Praises put the dominion of God over your enemy. Where God is presence the enemy will bow out and your troubles will vanish (Psalms 97:5). God's presence come as we choose to praise the Lord and your situation will change for good. Peace.
PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me to keep praising you for my freedom.
“IF YOU CAN BRING GOD IN, THERE WILL BE A CHANGE “
