Today is the day to sing for joy! Praise the completion of joy, and it also is a joy multiplier. When we chose to bring the sacrifice of praise to God, even when things in the natural realm are bleak, what happens on the inside is that the surge of joy brings hope back. It brings things back to our remembrance that we may have forgotten. When we look at Jesus, the things of earth grow dim. When we look at circumstances, the things of God grow dim. What we focus on becomes bigger. It works positively, and it works negatively. What praise does, is when we see big negative circumstances, it turns our focus away from the problem, and onto Jesus, and the big negative circumstances grow dimmer! Then praise becomes much less of a sacrifice and much more of an offering of thanks to God for being big enough to handle the issue that seemed so overwhelming. Another way praise multiplies is that just like laughter, it is contagious. We only have to see someone laughing and it makes us laugh. When we see others praising, it makes us want to join in with them. Like a crowd begetting a crowd, praise begets more praise. Let’s let those praises be released. Not only does it release more joy in us, God deserves it!
