A Sacrifice of Praise
Day 304
Praise is a tremendous resource that brings healing. The Bible says again and again to praise God. That means to worship, honor, and thank Him. Even when you do not feel like praising God, do it because you believe in the power of praise.
"You offer God praise when it hurts," says Joni Eareckson Tada, "and it costs you something. It costs your logic; it costs your pride. God then is so much more highly honored because He knows that you deem Him so, having offered such a sacrifice."
Hebrews 13:15 tells you to offer the "sacrifice of praise" to God with lips that thankfully acknowledge, confess, and proclaim the glory of His name. Your healing is intertwined in this daily praise.
"Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name" (Hebrews 13:15 NKJV).
Holy God, You are worthy of my praise. I honor and life up Your name, and I thank you for Your daily goodness. Amen.
