Praise Is A Response To The Goodness of God

Praise is not a response to our circumstances, which constantly fluctuate.

Praise is a response to the goodness and love of a God who never changes.

~~Nancy Leigh DeMoss

This morning’s prayer and meditation for Sally’s healing comes from Take Heart, Oh God: Riches from the Greatest Christian Women Writers of All Time.

Flying a kite in an open field, on top of a mountain, or on the ocean shores is pure joy when the weather conditions are right. The kite whips through the air, dipping and dancing in the sky . . . until the wind stops. Then it falls helplessly to the ground.

When our praises are tied to changing circumstances, they are just like that kite. Soaring one minute, grounded the next. When our praises are tied instead to an unchanging God, we can respond to God’s goodness and love regardless of what’s going on in our lives.

No matter what you’re feeling today and no matter what the circumstances look like around you, God hasn’t changed. He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. He never changes. And that alone is a fact worth praising!

It’s always perfect kite-flying weather with God. Let your kit fly! Let your praises soar.

Prayer for Meditation

Dear God, help me to praise you, Lord, regardless of the weather.
