“Praise and be raised or complain and remain” is a phrase
Joyce Meyer says often and it’s really so true. Praise and strength go hand in
hand. When you give God praise, He gives you strength. When you thank God in
advance for the answer, that’s what keeps you encouraged.
Remember, you’re not going to stay strong in faith by
complaining. Complaining drains you of strength and energy. You’re not going to
stay determined if you’re talking about how bad it is.
No, switch over into praise. “Business may be slow, but
Lord, I want to thank You that You prosper me even in a desert.” “The people
coming against me may be powerful, but Lord, I want to thank You that You are
all-powerful.” Praise will keep you moving forward!
So often we think, “I’ll give God praise after the problem turns
around.” But if you don’t learn this principle, to thank God in advance, you
won’t have the strength you need to wait for the promise.
Every morning when you wake up, start the day by saying,
“Father, thank You that my dreams are coming to pass. Thank You that this
problem is turning around. Thank You that You are bigger than this obstacle.”
Keep praising Him and keep receiving His strength so you can boldly embrace the
amazing plan He has for you!
