THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

WHEN GOD SHOWS UP, THE ENEMY MUST FLEE

What a remarkable PRIVILIDGE it is to boldly approach God’s throne of grace through JESUS. We have the opportunity to reach out to Him at any time, day or night, every day of the year! However, today’s scripture reminds us that we should not approach Him CASUALLY. We should NOT stand before the King of kings and the Lord of lords without an OFFERING. What can we present that is worthy of Almighty GOD? Our PRAISE, our THANKSGIVING, our WORSHIP. We ought to come into His presence with a heart full of ADORATION. Praise extends BEYOND singing hymns in church; it is an act of expressing GRATITUDE to God for His NATURE and all His DEEDS. Praise is a VITAL instrument for believers, for God DWELLS in the praises of His people. When we ENGAGE with Him APPROPRIATELY, He INTERVENES in our situations; and when GOD appears, adversaries must RETREAT! So today, enter His gates with THANKSGIVING, and pave the way for His ACTION in your life.

Today’s Scripture:

Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name.

Hebrews 13:15, NLT
