Are You Understanding That Your Praise Will Strengthen You and Encourage Others? You Have To Praise God Right Where You Are!

It's not about where you have been and it's not about where you are going.   It's all about what you are doing right here and right now to reflect the presence of God.   Are you believing God in your present state?   Are you trusting Him right where you are right now?    Are you holding on to your faith?   Are you confessing His Word?   What are you doing right here right now in the midst of everything you are experiencing in life.  

It is so easy to get off track by thinking about what happened in the past or what you want to happen in the future.   We get so focused on what we have been through or what we want God to do that we fail to praise Him right where we are.    We have to make sure we are praising Him in the midst of all that we are going through.   

Understand, your praise will strengthen you and it will encourage others.    There may be someone in your circle of influence today that really needs to see that God is good and that He is gracious.   They need to see that they can trust Him no matter what they are going through.   They need to see God's light being reflected through your life.     Remember, its not always about what you have been through or where God is taking you.  Make an impact today and help strengthen someone else's faith by believing, trusting, and worshipping God right where you are.   

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION

Philippians 4:12-13

King James Version (KJV)

¹² I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

¹³ I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
