I'm sure you read the phrase, "sacrifice of praise". We should always give God sacrificial praise, but, what does it mean? When God has blessed us, helped us, and protected us, we feel so thankful and giving toward Him. We can sing, worship, and talk about how good He is because we can see it. That kind of praise, although worthwhile, does not cost us anything. It is not a sacrifice. However, when things don't go well, God seems very far away, and praise is the last thing to bubble up from our hearts. We can't see His goodness, and the circumstances make it seem that God has forgotten us. To praise God in those difficult times requires personal sacrifice. It takes an act of the will to praise a God that, at the time, we don't understand. When we bring a "sacrifice of praise," we choose to believe that, even though life is not going as we think it should, God is still good and can be trusted. Let's follow this message and see what God says about this.
