IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PRAISE OR THANK ME TOO MUCH. As it is written, I inhabit the praises of My people. Sometimes your adoration is a spontaneous overflow of joy, in response to radiant beauty or rich blessings. At other times your praise is more disciplined and measured–an act of your will. I dwell equally in both types of praise. Thankfulness, also, is a royal road to draw near Me. A thankful heart has plenty of room for Me.
When you thank Me for the many pleasures I provide, you affirm that I am God, from whom all blessings flow. When adversity strikes and you thank Me anyway, your trust in My sovereignty is a showpiece in invisible realms. Fill up the spare moments of your life with praise and thanksgiving. The joyous discipline will help you live in the intimacy of My Presence.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

I will sing to my Lord as long as I live, I will sing
praise to my God while I have my being.
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow. Praise God, all creatures here below. Praise God above all ye heavenly hosts. Praise Him Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen.
When this is our response to every circumstance, blessings will flow from our deepest hurt and our darkest places. This is God’s promise and it is always true.
In praise,
Stan
