But You are holy, enthroned in the praises of Israel. Psalm 22:3
One of the most remarkable and exciting things about honest and sincere praise is taught here: praise will bring the presence of God.
Although God is everywhere all the time, there is a distinct demonstration of His power and purpose, of His rule, which enters the environment of our praise. Here is the cure for our times when we feel alone, deserted, or depressed. Praise!
Let this truth create faith and trust, and lead us to deliverance from disappointment, torment, or bondage. However simply, compose your song and testimony of God’s goodness in your life.
The result: God enters! His presence will live (take up residence) in our lives. The Hebrew word translated “inhabit” means “to sit down, to remain, to settle, or marry.” In other words, God does not merely visit us when we praise Him, but His presence abides with us and we partner with Him in a growing relationship.
Today, let us invite God’s presence into our immediate situation. He wants to come and abide where we are right now!
