Revelation 7:12,14 KJV
Let us have the understanding that people who praise God are showing gratitude for His salvation. In His salvation is sustenance, mercy, protection, deliverance. Praise shows gratitude. So What are we grateful for? THAT God is always saving us from bad times of bad trouble and wash our heart and make us clean. Even though some around us could deny they could not see clearly what God has done for us, we know in our hearts that God has been good and we are praising him for all He has done.
Praising God is one of the biggest thing in the Spiritual realms because it shows that God has already delivered us from bad and uncomfortable situations into a state of gratitude and that is the power of Praise.
This is what will happen to people who devote their time and energy praising God always. They are always near God's throne, being taken care of like a shepherd with His sheep. Everything they get will be fresh and living which will take away all forms of sorrows away.
Revelation 7:17 says
"The Lamb is there with them, near to God's throne. He will take care of them, like a shepherd with his sheep. He will take them to drink fresh water that gives people life. They will no longer be sad. God will take away all the tears from their eyes.’
Let of begin to develop the habit of praising God as praising God enables the power to make us redeemed.
Prayer: Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! I say to myself, ‘Praise the Lord!’ I will praise the Lord through all my life. While I am alive, I will always sing to praise my God.
