HAVING BAD DAY?
From the rising of the sun to
the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised.
Psalm 113:3 NIV
Have you ever been in those
days where you were having a bad day? There are those days where everything you
do seem to end badly. For some reasons even close friends seem to misunderstand
you; and annoy you with their words during those days.
There are many reasons that
can cause people to have so called bad day; but I have learnt that is wise not
to let those days to get a better of us. For us who are in Christ Jesus we need
to be able to manage our feelings and control our moods. We need to ask the
Spirit of God to give us the fruit of self control that we may be able to
control ourselves.
The Bible says from the
rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be
praised. In other reasons we need to develop the art of praising the Lord
always in our hearts and through our lips. Praise breaks the chain of bad
moods, and restores the joy of the Lord in the heart of believers.
This morning, I want you to
know that praise can help you to break the chain of bad days. If you find yourself
any time you are having a bad day; then to break that trend you need to put
your praise on. You need to start thinking about the goodness of the Lord, what
He has done for you; and thank Him for His goodness and mercies in your life.
God is enthroned in the
praises of His people, as Psalmist says in Psalm 22:3, "Yet you are holy,
enthroned on the praises of Israel." When we stop trying so hard in our
own puny power and simply build a throne of praise to Him, He will come and
inhabit and sit right in our midst. The language of praise acts like a magnet
and God quickly attaches Himself to us. It’s a promise—God is enthroned on the
praises of His people. (Steve Berger)
If God comes down to sit with
us through our praises; then you need to be sure that nothing will be able to
stand against us whether inside of us or on the environments those surround us.
Praise can turn terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day to be one of the best
days of your life.
