Praise pt1

"In everything give thanks. for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." 1 Thes. 5:18
I couldn't resist this picture even though my post is suppose to be serious. This is going to be a two part series on praise,
Rejoice in the Lord always,for as you rejoice and give thanks you release heaven's treasures and shower upon your head the blessings of a delighted Father. Nothing so thoroughly delights the Father's ears as the praises of His children.
For praise exercises the heart toward gratitude, and gratitude nurtures contentment, and you may know for a certainty that no fruit ever appears on the tree of discontentment.
So praise my children, and never cease in your praising, for in the midst of them I will manifest Myself, and you will understand that when I demand of you your praises it is for your highest good.
Out of your praises come courage, faith, strength, optimism, clarity and peace. Out of your praises come health and happiness and soul satisfaction that men and women seek in the world and do not find.
Blessings to all! Sharon
