Psalm 108:1 My heart, O God, is steadfast;
    I will sing and make music with all my soul.

 

My heart is steadfast… Hebrew = my heart is fixed. It will not be moved, this is central to my being. It’s who I am… this is me. I got to do this because its not just in me… its actually me. My heart only operates in one way… it is a praise producer, it is a praise supplier, it is a praise machine for God. 

I will praise God at all times, in all things, for any reason, during any season, bad, good, bland, confusing… whatever the time. I will praise him.

I will make music and I will brag on all the good things during all these other times.

Get it? When its good I will praise him, when its bad I will praise him, when its ok, bland, hard, easy, taxing, tiring, when it gets old, when I don’t know what to do, when I win the lottery or when I lose my spouse… IM SET, I WILL PRAISE HIM. PERIOD. 

 

Blendtek videos… no matter what you put in them its all going to come out in a million pieces. I love these videos, you can literally watch them for hours…they blend the star wars toys, markers and the justin beiber DVD, toy and book set… every thing comes out in pieces….

This should be the picture of our heart. No matter what happens in our life, our heart turns it into praise.

 

But catch this… This psalm has the majority of it about all of Gods good things. Look I get it, we often hear things about praising God when its tough, yep we are- but we often forget to praise him in the good times as well. It’s like this for many of us - we question God in the bad times, we cry out to him etc… or we thank God for the good times and quickly move on… but this Psalm is saying in the good times don’t just thank him, but praise him.

You know I have found that it comes across weird to many people when I thank god and praise him in the bad times… but it is even more confusing to some people when I praise him during the good times. They almost half expect me to take credit or to simply say thanks and move on. But I praise him… I take days praising him in my words, in my social media posts, in my day to day conversations… to anyone who will listen I praise him for the Good stuff…

Why? because thats where my heart is!

Take time this week to set your heart in place for praise.
