“Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen”. (Heb. 11:1) It is a substance or reality we take hold of even though we have not seen it because God has declared it. It is a reality because of the certainty of God’s Word. The life of faith is God’s blueprint for every believer. Without faith we underestimate our own abilities, become discouraged and worsen our problems and difficulties. Without faith we end up giving up and blaming God. Faith empowers to hold on as it deals with every problem we face in life.

The importance of praising God is mentioned hundreds of times in the Bible, both in the Old Testament and the New Testament. Praising God means telling or otherwise expressing how wonderful and great we believe God is and how much we love Him.  This can be done with words—such as through prayer, teaching, singing, or writing—or other modes of expression, such as dance, painting a picture, or simply opening your heart to Him in love during a moment of quiet stillness.  It can mean heeding God’s commands and knowing He is Lord, as well as obeying His commandments and understanding we are to follow His Son, our savior Jesus.

Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.  Psalm 95:2 “I will extol you, my God and King,  and bless your name forever and ever. Every day I will bless you  and praise your name forever and ever

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26 This is the message of the Lord to us this season. Do not give up the Lord is with you and all things are possible.
