TEXT: Psalm 34:1-10 (KJV)

1 I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

2 My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

3 O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.

4 I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.

6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

7 The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

8 O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

9 O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.

DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:

Someone rightly said, “Prayers move the hand that moves the world, while praises bring God’s presence and power into action in defence of his saints.” Prayers and praises are tremendous and invaluable weapons used by God’s people over the ages to confound and destabilize forces of darkness and enemies of the Church. The combination has given believers outstanding victories when faced with personal, family, denominational, or national issues.

In our text, the Psalmist leaves no one in doubt about the incredible power of God when we pray, lifting holy hands and praising him as the evidence and expression of our faith in Him, who answers prayers. He said he would always bless God and continually sing His praises, irrespective of his circumstances, as a mark of sonship and faith. He believes God delivers from all evil, answers prayers, protects from the enemy’s assaults, provides for all needs, and gives His angels charge to guide and protect His own by His benevolence and inexhaustible power. Having proved the omnipotence of God, he invites others to taste and see that the Lord is good.

We therefore learn that believers need to utilise these means of grace to solve their problems to avoid languishing in unnecessary lack, since they have a Father and God who is willing and ready to meet all their needs. Paul and Silas employed these when they were imprisoned by their persecutors. There was an earthquake, the prison doors were opened, and their bands were loosed (Acts 16:25,26). Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, and the Israelites used this strategy to defeat the people of Moab, Ammon, and Mount Seir (2 Chronicles 20:22). God is always willing to bless all who come to Him. He will supply the physical needs and all-round blessings of His saints and all who will turn from their sinfulness and embrace His love and mercy through repentance and faith in Christ and His work on the Cross.

Believers must therefore learn to praise God at all times and share testimonies of the goodness of God in their lives, homes, churches, and denominations. We must not take anything for granted and never consider anything too small to testify about.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Prayer and praise will move God’s hand and bring His presence into our situations.
