What Does Praise Do?

When we praise the Lord, it allows Him to answer our prayers faster. I have forgotten where these Scriptures are located, but they are in the Bible. The Bible also says that when we praise Him, we receive more angelic protection.

Praise, thankfulness, and gratitude are very important. A few nights ago, I finally understood why He moves faster when we praise Him. He moves faster because He sees that we are thankful and have gratitude towards what He has already done for us, which causes Him to be excited to do more. Do you see? God made us in His Image, which causes us to understand His nature a little more. Think about it....... when you do something nice for someone, and they show gratitude, it encourages you to do more, or it allows you to give them more when the occasion arises. If I give something to someone, and I see that they aren't thankful, I tend to stop giving to them. I usually like to give people a lot of encouragement, and when people look at me with gratitude in their eyes, it excites me and makes me want to bless them even more. The opposite is also true; if I give encouragement, and I see that the person didn't really care for it, whenever another chance arises to encourage, I won't take it because I already know that the person wasn't thankful with the prior encouragement that was given.

The reason why God moves faster is because He sees our thankful hearts. When He blesses us with something, He will give us a little more when we show gratitude because He sees that we were thankful for the little things. After we show gratitude for the small things, He will give us bigger things!

So..... show God your gratitude. Praise Him always! Always be happy where you are in life because it could have been worse.
