SACRIFICE OF PRAISE – Daily Devotional

 

SCRIPTURAL TEXT: Jonah 2;9
But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of The Lord.

December 25th

It is very easy to be happy when life is good. You wake up singing, you walk with an extra spring in your step. God is just so wonderful. During such moments, it is also easy to praise God. God seems so awesome when you are having testimonies. But, when you experience trials, is God still good?


Can you still praise God during such times? Jonah was in a precarious situation, which was as a result of his disobedience, but he prayed, and God heard him. In the next verse (Jonah2:10) the fish spat him out of its belly right at Nineveh, because God spoke to the fish.


Imagine that! Just after Jonah told God he would give God a sacrifice with the voice of thanksgiving in prayer. Praising God amid a deleterious situation is a sacrifice.


That is because, your human nature will negate such a response, but that is the time to see the power of God. The enemy does not want us to remain joyous, so, he will do everything to make sure he punctures your faith. Resist that devil and praise God.


Give God a sacrifice of praise in faith and expectation. Do not focus on the circumstance around you. God has not abandoned you. He is with you. Praise God, and He will bring your answer right to you. Glory to God!

PRAYER FOR THE DAY

Dear Father, help me to give the sacrifice of praise in
Jesus name.

Father, we pray that you will bless our leaders with good health and with safety.

Jerusalem and that your purposes be established in that city. Amen (Ps 122:6)

unity in the church.
