There are so many passages of scripture that admonish us to "Praise the Lord", "Worship the Lord", "Give Thanks unto the Lord". These are essential elements to our relationship with God. When we do these things on a consistent basis, it allows little room for doubt, despair, anxiety, depression, worry, fear and any other negative emotion that satan may use to attack the Christian believer. All of these negative emotions represent darkness. But the Word of God is LIGHT. These two elements can not dwell in the same place at the same time. When darkness is present, there is no light. Similarly, when light is present, darkness disappears. That is the importance of PRAISE, WORSHIP, & THANKSGIVING. Not only do we Honor God and Our Savior, but it keeps us in a positive spirit of worship that does not give space for fear & anxiety. Remember the scriptures says, "Be careful for nothing [don't worry about anything], but by prayer and supplication WITH THANKSGIVING let your requests be made known unto God. And the PEACE OF GOD which passes all understanding, shall KEEP YOUR HEARTS AND MINDS through Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7.
~Be Blessed!!
