SCRIPTURE: “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” – Colossians 3:16.

Worshipping and praising God, whether in good or bad times, is a sign that a believer is surely growing in the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 5: 16 says, “Rejoice evermore.” It means you should be joyful always. It takes maturity to be happy in the face of adversity. Worship and praise are powerful weapons in the hand of the believer that put to flight the forces of darkness and they also build a strong faith in the hearts of the Children of God. God is delighted in the worship of His children and dwells in their praises. At the same time, praise and worship are weapons of victory against the enemies of God’s children.

In Psalm 149:6-9, the Bible says “Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand; To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord.” This is an express verdict of God that praises will bring down upon your enemies when you praise Him.

When we make the choice to give the Lord the honour due to His name, it will strengthen our spirits and open up the door for God to do wonderful things for us. The Bible reminds us over and over that God is always with us, no matter our situation or circumstances. Paul and Silas praised and worshipped Him in prison and they received an earthquake of deliverance (Acts 16). It is a sign of immaturity when our problems dictate our mood instead of the promises of God. It does not matter what we are going through or what is happening around us, let us rest assured that God hears our prayers, He knows and understands our pain.

As we praise Him and rejoice in Him, His presence dwells with us. He comforts us and binds up our wounds as the Balm in Gilead. He will never leave us nor forsake us. Let us rejoice always in the Lord, for His joy is our strength (Nehemiah 8:10).
