Continual Praise

What would it look like to be a woman who praises God from the time she awakens each morning until the time she falls asleep each night? This kind of life would not only bring God delight as we worship him constantly, but it would transform our entire outlook on life. Worship shifts our focus from our own problems to the goodness of God. It provides an opportunity to invite his presence into every part of our day.

As we go about our day, we can look for reasons to praise God. Each moment provides a chance to lift up his name and acknowledge his presence. Whether we are commuting to work, preparing a meal, going for a walk, or talking to a loved one, there is always a reason to be grateful for God’s hand in our lives. The more we pay attention to the way he works, the more natural it becomes to praise him at all times. As we embrace an attitude of thanksgiving, we will share God’s goodness with those around us and give them a reason to praise his name as well. Praise is contagious, and our expression of worship can draw others into the joy of God’s presence.

Intentional, continual praise can only naturally result in intentional, continual joy. When we choose to look at each moment as an opportunity for worship, we will cultivate a steadfast sense of joy that doesn’t depend on our circumstances. This allows us to find beauty, peace, and purpose in God’s presence that goes beyond the everchanging details of our lives. No matter what happens, we can remain steady and secure, knowing that God is in control. This shift in perspective helps us embrace challenges and trials without being shaken or thrown off course.

As you reflect on the day, do so with a heart of praise. Choose to remember how God’s goodness echoed in everything around you. Even if your day was overwhelming, he is with you. His presence sustains you, and he will never let you go. He is faithful, and his promises are true.
