Praise and Thanksgiving

Today's verse of the day spoke of entering the gates of God with praise and thanksgiving.  This goes for prayer, as well. Before you go into the presence (or "gates") of God, you should give praise and thank Him for everything and whatever He's done for you, whether good or bad.

Psalm 100:4-5 (NIV) says:

“Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.”

So when we enter God's presence, thank Him.  Even the power of praise is so amazing and beyond what we can imagine.  Whatever you're going through, give thanks.  Praise Him.  He will come through for you.  Then upon entering God's presence, God knows that through anything, you're grateful that He is God and whatever He put you through.

Thanks and God bless.
