Praise and Worship - A Lifestyle of Constant Gratitude!
Day One: Daniel Fast 2013
Beloved of God, There is an unlimited level of God's Presence we can experience throughout each day! We come into His Presence through praise and thanksgiving. That is the etiquette of heaven. "Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise His name! Psalm 100:4 Practice praising God whether you are in the mood or not. Praise is a choice. Experience the level of God's fiery Presence increase as you praise and worship Him, for this is your eternal job description.
God Calling released this prophetic utterance today: It is impossible to praise or thank Me too much. As it is written, I inhabit the praises of My people. Sometimes your adoration is a spontaneous overflow of Joy, in response to radiant beauty or rich blessings. At other times your praise is more disciplined and measured—an act of your will. I dwell equally in both types of praise. Thankfulness, also, is a royal road to draw near Me. A thankful heart has plenty of room for Me.
When you thank Me for the many pleasures I provide, you affirm that I am God, from whom all blessings flow. When adversity strikes and you thank Me anyway, your trust in My sovereignty is a showpiece in invisible realms. Fill up the spare moments of your life with praise and thanksgiving. This joyous discipline will help you live in the intimacy of My Presence.
From Presence to Planting,
Tim & Janet Johns
