Good morning from rainy Dallas,
It is interesting when I started the other day with the scriptures in Psalms 119:41 & 42b how much of what I've been reading since then has to do with trust and faith.
This morning I want to share with you the scripture:
John 11:41
So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.
Jesus prayed this prayer while Lazarus was still in the grave, and the thanksgiving precedes the miracle of resurrection. Jesus gave thanks for what He is about to receive. The gratitude breaks forth before the bounty has arrived.
The song of victory is sung before the battle has been fought. It is thanksgiving before the miracle.
Praise is really the most vital preparatory ministry to the working of the miracles. Miracles are wrought by spiritual power. Spiritual power is always proportioned to our faith.
"Nothing so pleases God in connection with our prayer and our praise, and nothing so blesses the man who prays as the praise which he offers". Rev. Henry W. Frost.
May you have a praise filled day!
Joy
