There is an untapped reservoir of spiritual power in the practice of simply speaking the words, 'Thank You.' Psalm 22:26, says "Let those who seek His help praise the Lord!" Not after victory has been declared, but praise Him even as you watch storm clouds gather, before your personal battle begins.
Think about how many tears we shed when some enemy threatens to invade our lives. How many pleadings? How many promises we make to God bartering for deliverance? Could it be that He is teaching His sons and daughters that praise precedes victory? With all my heart, I believe so. As incredible as it sounds, our indescribable God takes pleasure in our 'Intentional Gratitude.' (II Chronicles 20)
Today, instead of approaching Him with complaints and requests, approach Him with praise. Applaud Him! Honor Him! Admire Him! Give God a standing ovation for what He has already done in your life, what He is doing, and what He will faithfully do in your future. And don't forget to say 'Thank You.'
