Progressive Praise
Progressive Praise
Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise! Give thanks to Him; bless His name. Psalm 100:4
This single verse is calling for a four-fold progression in our worship.
1) We are called to enter His presence with thanksgiving. The Hebrew word TODA, means “to raise a hand as a vow to commit our praise to the Lord.”
2) And His courts with praise. TEHILLA, or “to give God our joyful songs of praise.”
3) To give thanks to Him. YADA, “to raise a hand (YAD in Hebrew) as an expression of our gratitude and acknowledgment of His manifest presence.”
4) And bless His Name. BARAK, “to bow our knee in humble gratitude.”
It often requires the vow to praise the Lord (TODA) in order to come before Him with thanksgiving. It always helps to give Him songs of joyful praise (TEHILLA). Then, in the middle of our celebratory songs of praise, we raise our hands (YADA) in humble gratitude and then fall on our knees (BARAK) to bless His name.
Today, as you worship Christ, follow this four-fold progression of praise.
Father God, I enter your presence with a commitment of TODA, to always give praise to You. I give you my TEHILLA, my songs of joyful praise. I raise my hands in YADA, giving thanks to You, and I bless Your name, and BARAK, bow my knees in humble gratitude.
Please PRAY!
We are asking God for the remaining world country and U.S.A. states to receive the training of the College of Prayer. Pray with us today for Liechtenstein and Montana.
This daily Christ-encountering, fire-starter is not intended to replace your daily Bible reading and prayer time, but rather to motivate you to spend extended time in His presence.
