Click Here Praise Breaks the Bonds Day 305 According to Dr. Bill Bright, "Praise is a way of being liberated from the bondage of grief. God inhabits the praise of His people. Surround yourself with praise music. Invite your friends to come and praise God with you, and praise Him even with your tears, even if your heart is not in tune with what your lips are saying at first. It will not be long until your heart will catch up with praise. "Many, many times during heartache and sorrow, I have praised God with tears streaming down my cheeks because I know that God is a God of love." The Bible says that God dwells in the praises of His people. He lives among praises and is continually surrounded by them. What an incredible way to abide with the Holy God. "But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel" (Psalm 22:3 KJV). Holy, holy God, I praise Your name. You are worthy to be revered above all things. I praise Your name. Amen.
