1. Psalm 95: 1-2 NASB “O come, let us sing for joy to the Lord, Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation. Let Us come before His presence with thanksgiving, Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.” Father, when times are filled with uncertainties and difficulties remind us that You are our rock of salvation who is worthy of our praise and thanksgiving. Singing and joyfully praising You is right as it reminds us of Your faithfulness and the hope that lives within us. Thank You Father that You receive our joyful songs and even shouts of praise. Help us to praise You with exuberant worship not only because You tell us to do this, but also because the world is watching.
2. 1 Samuel 2: 1-2 NASB “Then Hannah prayed and said, ‘My heart exults in the Lord; My horn is exalted in the Lord, My mouth speaks boldly against my enemies, Because I rejoice in Your salvation. There is no one holy like the Lord, Indeed, there is no one besides You, Nor is there any rock like our God.’” Lord God, it is easy to praise You when we receive those things for which we have been praying. Help us to praise You when we are disappointed or discouraged. Many times our hearts are lightened as we lift praises to You and realize afresh that You are working a higher purpose.
