Garment of Praise
Have you ever looked into a child’s grumpy face and demanded that they don’t smile? Even the most stubborn child can often be coaxed out of their funk by a few tickles or funny faces. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for adults. Imagine trying to change the attitude of the crotchety older woman with the same method. The picture is somewhat ridiculous.
When life’s situations get us down, and all around us is darkness and depression, it takes a great deal of faith to choose praise. But often that’s the only thing that can really pull us out of those dark moments. When we choose to thank God for his goodness and grace, we can’t help but to see life in a more positive light. As we praise God, our focus shifts from ourselves to him.
Scripture:
Psalms 100:4-5 NRSV
Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise. Give thanks to him, bless his name. For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.
Prayer:
God, you don’t only deserve my praise when life is going well. You are worthy of my adoration every second of every day no matter what the situation. Today I choose to put on a garments of praise.
