I have come to learn over the years singing a song isn't necessarily a great way of offering a sacrifice of praise.
We sing because of His goodness.
The sacrifice that moves mountains and the heart of God comes from out of a deep hurt, a deep gratitude of who He is and what He's done, and just a love for the creator of the universe for just being who He is.
A mountain moving sacrifice cost nothing to give yet cost us everything we hold on to, such as pride, haughtiness, our thinking we don't need God, or the life ruin tongue.
A sacrifice of praise can be beautiful and rewarding and I for one want all the benefits that are stored up for me.
God Bless.
Offer a Sacrifice of Praise
by Joyce Meyer -
Through Him, therefore, let us constantly and at all times offer up to God a sacrifice of praise, which is the fruit of lips that thankfully acknowledge and confess and glorify His name. —Hebrews 13:15
The Bible teaches that you must acknowledge and glorify God and offer up a sacrifice of praise regardless of what you may be going through. Perhaps you have been experiencing a time of trouble in your life, and you have been praying and trusting God to meet the need…but nothing has changed.
While you are waiting for the answer is a perfect time to offer a sacrifice of praise. It is easy to praise God when everything is going well, but when you acknowledge and glorify Him in the midst of a troubling situation, that is a sacrifice—and it does not go unnoticed. So offer a sacrifice of praise as you spend time with God at the end of your day.
