Extol HIS Name

Psalm 145:1-3 ESV
[1] I will extol you, my God and King, and bless your name forever and ever. [2] Every day I will bless you and praise your name forever and ever. [3] Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable.

Worship trumps any pain or anger, disappointment or frustration. No matter the situation, worship turns one’s heart to the One who is greater than any disappointment or frustration, pain or anger. But what if I do not feel like worshiping? Then do it any way. Satan would love nothing more than for you to turn away from God. Satan wants you to extol what he is doing to you. He wants you to remember and ruminate on the pain your feeling. He wants you to dwell in disappointment, frustration, anger, and despair. In short, Satan want you to worship him. But do not give in.

Extol GOD’S name instead. And when you do, truly looking at and dwelling with the Father, that which Satan is trying to hold you captive will become weaker and lose its power over you. Begin by recalling what God has done for you right now. You opened your eyes this morning. That is a gift from the Father. You took a breath. That is a gift from the Father. Jesus has died for the forgiveness of your sins. That is a gift from the Father. And you get my point.

Extol GOD’S name and His name alone, for HE is a great Lord, and HIS greatness is unsearchable.
