Mayumi Amargo’s Reviews > 31 Days of Praise Journal: Enjoying God Anew > Status Update

Could it be that one of Satan’s major strategies is to divert us from praise?

They did not deny their feelings or simply ignore them.Nor did they wallow in them until they’d all but drowned. And it doesn’t seem that they postponed their praise until they had worked through their emotions and felt better. Instead, they mingled an honest pouring-out of their feelings with sincere, God-honoring praise.

Dr. John G. Mitchell,”To give thanks when you don’t feel like it is not hypocrisy; it’s obedience.”

I find that my worship is richer when I offer the Lord praise and thanks for three things: who He is, what He does, and what He gives.

As C. H. Spurgo wrote, our griefs cannot mar the melody of our praise, they are simply the bass notes of our life song.
