DCLM Daily Manna 21 December 2023 Devotional By Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — What Praises Can Do

TOPIC: What Praises Can Do (DCLM Daily Manna 21 December 2023)

KEY VERSE: ““I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore. For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell” (Psalm 86:12,13).

TEXT: Psalm 86:11-17 (KJV)

11 Teach me thy way, O Lord; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.

13 For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.

14 O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.

15 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

16 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.

17 Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, Lord, hast holpen me, and comforted me.

MESSAGE:

ears ago when I was struggling with restless sleep, I started a new habit”, says a Christian mother. “Throughout each day, I tried to notice every blessing, large or small, that came my way. Each night in bed, I named them one by one and thanked God for them all. Not only did this practice change my attitude from negative to positive, but I often fell into a peaceful sleep before finishing my list. God used a time of struggle in my life to help me to develop an attitude of thanksgiving”.

The psalmist showed forth his gratitude to God, praised Him with all his heart and glorified His name. Though he faced many challenges from those seeking to destroy him, he was sure of God’s compassion, mercy and truth. He pleaded for strength and deliverance that those who hated him might see God’s goodness and comfort toward him.

Praising God in all circumstances, good or bad, not only strengthens the believer but also opens into his life the door of miracles and deliverance. Many Christians are either too ignorant or bugged down with present predicament to praise God the way we ought to do. They enter into His presence only when they have burdens, needs, complaints and requests. They are always asking for more and never stopping to give thanks or show appreciation for the good things they enjoy from Him.

God has, this year, wrought for you and members of your family, such things as deliverance from sickness and affliction, accident, ritual murder or terrorist attack, which would have resulted in you becoming either homeless, lame, paralysed, blind or dead. Stop complaining and learn to give thanks to God for the past blessings and you will be delivered from your present and future predicament.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Praising God in all circumstances delivers you from present and future troubles.
