Building Hope Through Praise

Giving God praise can change your whole attitude if it is done with a grateful heart. Just being thankful for a beautiful day or a warm home gets the attention of the Most High Father. True praise has a way of bringing the Holy Spirits power into the heart of the worshiper. There is no better medicine on Earth for the blues than giving the Father praise. Giving praise to the Father during the low times in life can help one hang on to the hope that is promised through Jesus Christ. Paul stated it well in Acts 2:26, “Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body will rest in hope”(NIV).

Praise not only gives us hope, but it can cause the unsaved world to question the source of our hope. As we make a habit of praising and giving thanks to our Creator, we begin to project a positive and joyful attitude. By having this attitude others begin to wonder what the source of our happiness is. What a wonderful witnessing tool praise can become!

In 1 Peter 1:3 the Apostle Peter states, Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy, He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Our salvation is well worth giving Praising to the Father. For Jesus Christ is the source of hope that the unsaved world seeks to find. Mathew 12:21 states, “In His name the nations will put their hope”(NIV). What a Wonderful Father we have...
