SACRIFICE OF PRAISE
THE SEED
“By Him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name.” Hebrews 13:15 (KJV)
When life is difficult, praise is often the last thing on our minds. In moments of pain or uncertainty, giving thanks to God can feel like a true sacrifice. Yet, it is this kind of heartfelt praise offered amid struggle that brings joy to God’s heart. We praise Him not only for what He has done, but also for what He will do, and even for what He withholds for our good. Praise brings us into God’s presence. It lifts our spirit, broadens our perspective, reveals solutions, and reminds us of His faithfulness. Remember Paul and Silas in prison? Their midnight praise broke chains and opened prison doors (Acts 16:25–26). There’s power in your praise.
BIBLE READING: Acts 16:16–26
PRAYER: Father, grant me the grace to praise You in all seasons. Let my lips always glorify You, for You are worthy in Jesus name, Amen.
