The Impact of Praise
For many people, praise, thanksgiving and worship are never offered until some event has occurred which merits such actions. To offer praise when a person doesn’t feel like it would be unthinkable. It is limited to a response we have when something goes well.
In truth, the Word says that such praise, thanksgiving and worship is powerful, and it will impact circumstances and causes things to change. It will cause the devil to depart from us, it edifies us and strengthens our faith, and it pleases our God. We praise Him for who He is and not just for what He does.
