Yet you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.

--Psalm 22:3

Are you missing out on the most important thing in the Christian life?

According to Scriptures, worship is the most important thing we’re called to do as believers in Christ.

In our devotion today, I’d like to focus on one of the reasons why you should worship the Lord: Because it fortifies your faith.

Psalm 34:4-5 says, “I sought the LORD, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed.”

When your faith needs a boost, look up! Praise, worship, singing spiritual songs, and expressing adoration to God all strengthen your faith and draw you nearer to Him. 

Remember what our Scripture verse today tells us: God is “enthroned on the praises of Israel.” Wherever genuine praise is, so is God!

I am confident that taking your focus off of your troubles… and genuinely thanking God for what He has done in your life… will strengthen your faith and brighten your outlook on life!

TODAY, IN SPITE OF WHAT HAPPENS AT HOME OR WORK, FIND ONE THING FOR WHICH TO PRAISE THE LORD.
